Dive Sites - Andaman Ocean
Similan Islands Lying north to south approximately 100km north of Phuket, consist of 9 islands and surrounding dive sites. On the east sides are beautiful white powder-sand slopes dramatically dropping from the beaches, some up to 30 meters or deeper, some covered with massive healthy coral reefs. Frequently visited for deep dives in the morning, west sides of the islands offer dynamic rocky formations. Some boulders rise from the bottom (30M or deeper) straight up to above water creating very exciting underwater landscapes for you to explore. Since the SimilanIslands are one of Thailand's National Parks, marine life are well protected and boast great variety. Some of them are very unique which can be sighted only in the area, very different from the other side of Malay Peninsula or Pacific Ocean. Try to count how many kinds of butterfly fish you can spot in one dive and meet various cousins of Nemo. Leopard Sharks and reef sharks, great barracudas are commonly seen in the morning dives and colorful reef fish, small stuff and occasional Napoleons are dwellers in the afternoon dive sites.
