What to expect underwater

At Koh Nang Yuan, Japanese Gardens is a shallow bay with some of the largest coral formations on Koh Tao.

The massive coral heads stretch across the sandy slope, creating a home for parrotfish, rabbitfish, and damselfish, while patches of reef in between hold plenty of smaller life.

It’s a perfect spot for first dives and snorkelling, and a favourite location for a RAID Try Dive.
