Shore-based training beach in Sirinat Park
NaiYang Beach is a sheltered shore site inside Sirinat National Park on Phuket's north coast, used for confined-water training and try-dives. The beachside reef and flat, generally clear water make it a straightforward place to practise basic skills, with small reef life just offshore and a larger reef beyond the training zone.
