Yellow Stone
Shallow coral pinnacle off Nyaung Oo Phee Island.
Local operator required
Boat access, seasonal timing, and immigration logistics make a local operator or island-based trip the practical way to dive Yellow Stone.
Boat-access site with shallow coral cover; plan calm-season transfers, tide checks, and a relaxed reef circuit.
About Yellow Stone
Yellow Stone is a shallow coral pinnacle off the west side of Nyaung Oo Phee Island, with a compact rocky shape and bright reef growth. Divers can stay close to the structure and work the coral heads rather than covering a long run, and the shallow top also makes the site workable for calm-day snorkel or freedive sessions. It is best in calm-season conditions, because tide timing can make the current stronger than the profile suggests.

Local Intel For Yellow Stone
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Use the shallow pinnacle for a short coral circuit rather than a long swim. The dive stays comfortable when the operator times slack water and keeps the group close to the structure.
Freediving
Freediving is practical over the shallow top on calm days, but current and tide windows matter more than the depth number alone. Treat it as a guided, conservative session.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling works best when the sea is calm and the top of the structure is clear. Stay over the shallow coral heads and let the guide decide whether the window is good enough.
