Koh Wao
Koh Wao lies in the northern part of the Ang Thong archipelago north-west of Koh Samui. The bay is a shallow, sheltered dive with anemone gardens stretching across the reef, long bottom times and training-pool conditions. Nearby rocks offer shallow caverns and swim-throughs, and yellowtail fusiliers, barracuda and resting stingrays are typical of the area. Visibility in the park is often limited by sediment.
