Koh Podah Nai

Dive Location:  The largest of the offshore islands and islets, just over 6Km south of Ao Nang Beach.
Warning: Due to high volume of boat traffic, extreme care must be taken when snorkelling at this site.
Depth: Average 5m / Maximum 12m

The northern beach of Koh Podah Nai slopes gently down to an extensive reef-flat, which continues outwards for a further 50m before it reaches an almost sheer slope which drops to 12m. At high tide the corals are covered with only 2m of water or less; at lower tides many coral heads actually break the surface. These conditions render the particular area suitable only for snorkelling.

Better corals and marine life are found a little way out. The reef consists mainly of small clusters of staghorn, cauliflower and a number of leaf and plate corals. There are many narrow crevices and ledges that cut into the rocky walls of the island itself, these are well worth investigating as tigertail seahorses often conceal themselves within.
