Scuba diving is considered as a tradition in Ao Nang, just in front of it the Railey and Nopparatthara beach has 15 smaller and bigger island which you can reach there within 30 to 45 minutes by longtailed boat but only 6 to 7 of them are used for diving, this includes Koh Yawasam, Koh Yawabon, Koh Doh, Koh Si, Koh Ha, Koh Mae Urai and Poda island.
Come come let's go to the sea again. Heading to Koh Yawasam and Koh Yawabon my dive destination and im gonna do my 3 practical dives here ><

p/s: a summary to the whole dive experience.
The dive experience and expectation is below my imagination. I thought I can see something nice under the water but who knows I've miss count the season in Ao Nang so thats why things are out of my expectations. If you ask me whether the islands are worth to go or not. My answer will be ''you can drop by for a visit but for diving no, save your money for a better spot will make you more satisfy later". In order not to get lost in the sea I've got to stick very close to my instructor during the whole diving session, I remember well that I did lost my buoyancy twice, do not have time to give my instructor any signal and up up up I ascended to the surface. You might be panic if you're out on the surface while the rest of people are still in the water. Don't be afraid we're trained to be calm no matter what happen. Do not go down to look for them cause you do not know how far they've gone to, you'll even get lost in a more serious situation so just stay where you are they will ascend to the surface to see where you'll be.
