Japanese Gardens or Aow Song is a dive site just west of Ko Nang Yuan inside Bay 2. Its name is coming from its tearing plate and staghorn coral which resembles to the way they create gardens in Japan. With only a maximum depth of twelve meters it is a perfect location for training divers, beginners and snorkellers. When the currents are strong you can make a spectacular drift dive starting at dive site Hin Daeng better known as Nang Yang Pinnacle or Red Rock. Marine life is colourful with many reef fish including butterfly, banner fish, angels, parrotfish and some turtles. Sponges, mushroom, table and brain corals are some of the reasons that make this dive absolutely stunning. Some of the smaller pelagic such as trevally and fusilier can be spotted as well.
