Ko Rang
Lonely Planet review for Ko Rang
By far the best diving in the region is in and around Ko Rang. Protected from fishing by its marine park status, this place has some of the most pristine coral in Thailand. Visibility is much better than Ko Chang and averages between 10m and 20m.
Ko Yak and Ko Laun are both shallow dives perfect for both beginners and advanced divers. These two small rocky islands can be circumnavigated and have loads of coral, schooling fish, rays, morays, barracuda, puffer fish and the occasional turtle.

Koh Rang has surprisingly beautiful coral
truigeertrui recommends this,
Indeed as many I signed up for a dive trip on Koh Rang. One hour on the boat from Koh Chang, I was not expecting too much since all the big snorkelboats were heading there as well, and sometimes that means too many people to see fish. But, to my surprise, it was very healthy and beautiful coral reef, and a super interesting dive. True there were many snorkelers above, but being there with a smaller boat we went to the calmer islands of koh rang, and it was worth it!
