Koh Ya Wa Bon

Dive Location:  To the west of Koh Podah Nok.
Depth: Average 12m / Maximum 20m

In the north of this site an impressive archway cuts through the face of the rock for about 10m; there are two entrances at 6m and 12m. This is a good swim through, although it is only wide enough for a single diver at a time. The site’s northern area gradually slopes down over coral laminates interspersed with sea anemones (with a variety of tenants) and rocks.

Away from the reef are three large submerged boulders, whose southern faces are carpeted in anemones; their many crevices act as homes and lairs to a variety of invertebrates, including banded, boxing and hinge shrimps. This is also a good location for spotting juvenile snowflake morays and black-banded sea kraits as they meander in and out of the rocks.
