About this site

Haad Yao is a coral reef dive site located off Koh Phangan, Thailand, reaching a maximum depth of 12 metres and suited to beginners as well as certified divers looking for a relaxed outing. The reef is characterised by an extended layout of hard corals populated by colourful reef fish, making for a long, leisurely dive at accessible depths.

The marine life at Haad Yao includes White Eyed Moray Eels, Long Nosed Butterfly Fish, cuttlefish, squid, and reef fish moving among the hard corals. Stingrays and flatworms are also encountered along the bottom.

Entry is either directly from the beach or by boat, depending on weather conditions at the time of the dive. Dives are typically conducted in the afternoon, with conditions on the day determining which access method is used.
