Koh Tae Nok: An island off the west coast of Koh Phangnan. The northern bay has a small fringing reef that descends down to 25m. This is a colourful dive site when the visibility is ok with barrel sponges, gorgonian seafans and feather stars mixed in with boulders and hard corals. Parrotfish, pufferfish, wrasse and snapper are seen. Blacktips are also spotted sometimes. Currents are mild.
Haad Yuan: A dive site around the headland north of Haad Rin beach which is very convenient for local dive centres and is therefore often used for training dives.

This is also a good snorkelling site.
