Discover the Dives sites around Similan & Surin Islands

The Similan Island National Park is the centerpiece of all Liveaboard trips and gather an extended range of world-class dive sites. Nowhere is the diving more varied or colorful. There are nine, densely wooded islands lying north to south. Each has its own name, but everyone knows them simply by number. Most island have gorgeous beaches with fine talcum powder-like sand.

The underwater scenery changes as you alternate between the east and the west side of the islands. On the east side, the diving is on sloping hard coral reefs and shallow coral gardens. Change over to the west side and it is as you are at a totally different location. Here, huge granite boulders stacked on top of one another create cavern and swim-through. Fishlife there is the most varied of Thailand; Reef sharks, turtles and rays make regular appearances. Huge gorgonians, dendronephthyas, shelter hips of invertebrates and  sea fans and bright yellow tube corals add to the orgy of color.

The five islands are closely grouped together; the main islands larger than any of the Similans and covered in verdant rainforest. A small Sea Gypsy community lives on the east coast. The islands are also perfect setting for some relaxation after a long day bubbling around. White sand beaches, green jungle, sea eagles circling in the sky.
