Dive-site story
Located in southern Phuket between Promthep Cape and Windmill Viewpoint, Ya Nui Beach serves as an accessible shore dive characterized by shallow granite outcrops, coral bommies, and sandy patches. Divers commonly explore along the northern rocky headland or navigate toward the small islet sitting just offshore in the bay. The site is frequently used for refresher dives, training sessions, and relaxed macro hunting.
Easy sandy shore entry directly from the cove
Sheltered rocky boulders hosting macro critters and juvenile reef fish
Offshore rocky formation featuring scattered hard corals and gorgonian sea fans
Location
