Green Rock is a premier dive destination located at Nang Yuan in Ko Phangan District, Gulf of Thailand. This site features a dramatic rocky formation rising from the seafloor, creating an exciting underwater landscape for divers of all experience levels.

The dive typically reaches depths of 12-25 meters, making it accessible for recreational divers while offering interest for more experienced explorers. The rocky structure provides excellent habitat for diverse marine life, including colorful reef fish, groupers, snappers, and occasional rays. Divers frequently encounter nudibranchs and other macro life among the crevices and coral growth.
