Elephant Head Rock

Elephant Head Rock is one of the most popular dive sites in Simian Islands. This is a deep boulder dive and is generally dive by the liveaboards on the first or second dive of the day. There are three large boulders emerge from the sea. At the site there is a cluster of stacked emerged boulders that form sheer walls and swim throughs that is littered with soft corals and sea fans.

Elephant Head Rock is an outstanding exploration site and is very popular with underwater photographers. The only down side is the depth and you do need to be careful of your decompression time.

The currents can be strong and often unpredictable around the rocks which really makes the site an experienced divers site only.

There is an abundance of marine life including whitetip reef sharks, bluefin travelly and fusiliers. Manta rays and Whale sharks have been seen here as well. All in all one of the best scuba diving sites in the Similan Islands.
