|  | Scuba Diving at Similan Islands Some of the most spectacular diving in the world. There is an amazing variety of marine life including reef sharks, manta rays and huge schools of tropical fish.
You can encounter coral gardens, swim throughs, caverns, walls and underwater canyons while diving in the crystal clear waters of the many dive sites in the Similans which suit all levels of diver.
Some of the dive sites are Beacon Beach, Fantasy Reef, Elephant Head, Christmas Point, Snapper Alley, Grandmother Rock, Boulder City, Deep Six, Anitas Reef, East of Eden Shark Fin Reef and Chinese Wall. Visibility is usually around 20 - 30 meters and currents are often negligible. |

Hi Kelvin, the Similan Islands are really good for scuba diving! Great information and photographs of the various marine life! | SLLiew Thu Nov 1, 2007 18:49 UTC
Wow...beautiful dive spots. I like your listing of fishes seen at each spot. The depth is probably the same right, 8-12 meters? Heard so much of Similan islands... Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos. Cheers, SL :) | sugarpuff Mon Aug 6, 2007 19:42 UTC
