Nang Yuan – Northwest Bay

Dive Location:  Northwest bay off Nang Yuan.
Depth: Average 6m / Maximum 12m

Follow the rocks northwards to find large numbers of black sea cucumbers scattered around rocks and lesser star boulder corals, heavily pitted with multicoloured plume worms and bivalves.

The larger rocks, rich in foliaceous and soft corals, provide small-scale wall-dives and swim-arounds. Neptune barrel sponges are covered in long white alabaster tubeworms. The rocks are interspersed with small elevated sections hosting gardens of sea anemones.

Around and beyond the rocks the fish life becomes more prolific. There are lots of bullethead parrotfish, checkerboard wrasse, red-tailed butterflyfish and emperor angelfish, and large white snappers, cuttlefish and jacks.
