Similan Island: Dive Sites

A group of 9 islands in the Similan Marine National Park situated about 90 km north of Phuket. The Similan Island dive sites here are known for the great visibility sometimes in excess of 40 metres. Dive sites range from the long coral reefs such as East of Eden to the fantastic to the rocky outcrops of Elephant Head rock. There are many wonderful and different dive sites here (20+) that the region is best dived as a live aboard trip. Even if it is for one night you will have the luxury of tasting a small sample of this world class diving. A great place to do a two day Advance Open Water certification. The national park is closed to diving between mid May and late October each year.
