The Similan Islands are a stunning group of nine islands, north-west of Phuket.
The diving here is astounding; one of the top spots in the world and Asia and certainly the best in Thailand. Thriving reefs, lush corals, impressive sea fans and an incredible variety of marine life including large pelagics such as manta rays and whale sharks.
The Similans are characterised by gigantic boulders above and below the water line, creating awesome underwater scenery and exciting swimthroughs for scuba divers to explore. The water is crystal clear and the visibility while diving is fantastic. The Similans also have exquisite sandy beaches and shallow coral reefs in the bays, which are perfect for snorkeling.

Spread among the nine islands are about 20 different dive sites.
One of the favourites, especially for photographers, is Fantasea Reef. Thousands of schooling fusiliers and banner fish together with the always present sharks make this an awesome dive. To preserve the divesite, diving here is at the moment not permitted.
Another top scuba diving site is Christmas Point. This is a good spot for manta rays, nurse sharks and barracudas. It has an impressive variety of hard and soft corals and a wonderful maze of swimthroughs.
Shark Fin Reef has beautiful coral and sponge gardens. It is an excellent site to see reef sharks and huge Napoleon wrasse.

Elephant Rock looks from the surface like an elephant head. Below the surface there are many impressive tunnels and swimthroughs. You can find small white tip reef sharks in a rock crevasse at the start of the dive and lots of colourful fish.
Boulder City is another favourite dive site of the Similans. Due to its exposed location it is possible to see almost anything here including whale sharks and mantas. It always offers exceptional scuba diving. Leopard sharks, spanish dancers and great barracudas have been seen here against a backdrop of huge granite boulders.

The beautiful islands of Koh Bon and Koh Tachai are a part of the Similans National Marine Park. Due to their isolated location these islands offer excellent opportunities to go scuba diving with mantas and whale sharks.

Koh Bon is a fantastic dive spot, famous for its visiting whale sharks, manta rays and sharks. There are thousands of schooling fish as well as octopus and cuttlefish. A myriad of corals, anemones and fascinating sea sponges makes this exceptional scuba diving, teeming with life.

Koh Tachai is a series of submerged pinnacles and boulders, which form excellent swimthroughs. A variety of sea fans, feather stars and anemones makes this a stunning area to go scuba diving. Huge Napoleon wrasse and yellow tail barracudas are often seen amidst schooling fish such as bannerfish and fusiliers.

To dive Koh Bon and Koh Tachai, you take one of the liveaboards that make a combination trip to Similans and Surin. Minimum duration of the trip is 3 days and 2 nights, recommended is 4 days and 4 nights or even longer.

The beautiful Surin Marine National Park is situated north of the Similans. It consists of five granite islands covered in lush forest with idyllic beaches and beautifully clear water.

The Surin Islands are an excellent place to see many breeds of turtles, as they come to Koh Chi (one of the islands) to feed and lay their eggs. This area is perfect for our night dives. As well as turtles we see many rays, crabs, shrimps and also reef sharks. There are gardens of anemones, sponges and an impressive variety of corals and giant clams to see. In the daytime the northern Surin Islands are a top spot for "big fish".

The famous Richelieu Rock is one of the world's best locations for spotting whale sharks and is certainly one of Thailand's best scuba diving sites. This submerged rock is surrounded by a series of underwater pinnacles, covered in corals and sea fans, making this spectacular wall diving.
Richelieu Rock is incredibly rich in marine life. Here you can see seahorses, shovel nose rays, moray eels, lionfish and schools of banner fish. Due to its location in open seas you may also see barracudas and pelagics such as trevallies and tuna.

Located in the middle of the ocean this area is known as one of the best dive sites in the world. Hin Daeng, an underwater limestone pinnacle, rises few metres above the surface and drops off down to 60 metres. No other spot in the Andaman Sea has a wall like this. The pinnacle is covered with colourful soft corals with huge beds of anemones. Schools of barracudas, big jacks, trevallies and also sailfish abound; while whale sharks, silvertip sharks, big sting rays and mantas often can be seen. You can encounter about anything that might decide to show up.

Hin Muang is regarded to offer some of Thailand's best scuba . It is approximately 200 meters long and 30 meters wide, the top of the pinnacle is in about 10 meters of water. Cuttlefish and lionfish are commonly sighted amongst the carpet of purple soft corals that gave the site its name.
The vertical drop offs have a large concentration of zig-zag oysters and schools of silver sides hang around the rocky outcrops. Large quantities of sea anemones can be found in the shallower depths.
The underwater world here resembles Hin Daeng, and, just as at Hin Daeng, because of the often strong currents and surge this can be a challenging divesite.
