Destaques
Similan Islands
The Similan Islands is an archipelago in the Andaman Sea consisting of 9 islands that have no individual names but they’re referred to by their numbers. The dive sites in this region are known for their boulder formations, channels, swim-throughs, walls, and reef slopes.
The mixture of vibrant reefs, colorful fish, and deep rock formations are a magnet for divers of all levels. Some of the best dive sites in the Similan Islands include Elephant Head with its giant granite boulders, East Of Eden with the best reefs in the area, and Anita’s Reef with its teeming marine life.
Surin Islands
The Surin archipelago, with its Koh Surin Nua and Koh Surin Tai islands and Richelieu Rock, offers some of the most spectacular scuba diving in the country. The destination offers the advantage of being less frequented than the Similan Islands and receiving more pelagic action. The presence of excellent dive sites where manta rays and whale sharks can be seen have made the Surin Islands a popular destination among divers. There are also plenty of sites where macro life like pipefish, seahorses, and frogfish can be observed.
Koh Phi Phi
Koh Phi Phi lie on the famous Coral Triangle and it’s a biodiversity hotspot. Thousands of species of marine fish and coral, ranging from the tiny nudibranchs to whale sharks inhabit the waters surrounding the islands. The region has about 20 dive sites characterized by rugged limestone walls covered in coral. There’s a dive site for everyone here, regardless of the level of experience. Some of the most popular include Mushroom Rock, Bida Nok, and Phi Phi Leh.
Koh Tao
Koh Tao is an island in the Chumphon Archipelago that’s renowned for the number of annual dive certifications issued. It’s among the best places to dive if you’re a beginner, with calm conditions and plenty of dive sites to choose from. Bull sharks, grey sharks, leopard sharks, barracudas, and sea turtles are common encounters, along with all the usual reef fauna of South East Asia. Sail Rock, Chumphon Pinnacles, and Shark Bay stand out as some of the best dive sites in the region.
