Similan Dive Sites

Thailand’s best dive site, bar none. A stunning array of soft corals and spectacular stampeding marine life. Read More
Koh Bon
Thailand’s manta ray hotspot, with plenty of other things to see if the mantas don’t show up. Read More

Koh Tachai is one of the Similan Islands’ best dive sites but also one of the most volatile. Massive fans, huge schools of fish, maybe manta rays – it’s all to play for. Read More
Boulder City
A dramatic deep water Similan dive site, Boulder City needs the right conditions to explore as it’s exposed to wind and wave from all sides. Read More
Shark’s Fin Reef
