North-Tour

The Similan Islands are a stunning group of nine Islands, north west of Phuket, famous as one of the top dive destinations in the world and certainly the best in Asia. The diving here is simply amazing. You'll immerse yourself in thriving reefs, lush corals, impressive sea fans and an incredible variety of marine life including large pelagics such as manta rays and whale sharks.

The Similans are characterised by gigantic boulders above and below the water line, creating awesome underwater scenery and exciting swim through's for divers to explore. The water is crystal clear and the visibility fantastic. The Similans also boast exquisite sandy beaches and shallow coral reefs in the bays. A perfect place for snorkeling.

Spread among the nine islands are over 20 distinct dive sites. One of the favourites, especially for photographers, is Fantasea Reef. Thousands of schooling fusiliers, banner fish and reef sharks make this an awesome site.

Another wonderful site is Christmas Point. This is a good spot for manta rays, nurse sharks and barracudas. It has an impressive variety of hard and soft corals and a wonderful maze of swim through's.

Shark Fin Reef has beautiful coral and sponge gardens. It is an excellent site to see reef sharks and huge Napoleon wrasse.

Elephant Rock from the surface looks like an elephant head. Below the surface there are many impressive tunnels and swim through's. You can find small white tip reef sharks in a rock crevice at the beginning of the dive and many colourful fish.

Boulder City is another favourite site in the Similans. Due to its exposed location it is possible to see almost anything here including whale sharks and manta rays. It is invariably an exceptional dive. Leopard sharks, spanish dancers and great barracudas have been seen here against a back drop of huge granite boulders.

The beautiful Islands of Koh Bon and Koh Tachai are a part of the Surin National Marine Park. Due to their isolated location these islands offer excellent opportunities to see mantas and whale sharks.

Koh Tachai is a series of submerged pinnacles and boulders which form excellent swim throughs. A variety of sea fans, feather stars and anemones make this a stunning diving area. Huge Napoleon wrasse and yellow tail barracudas are often spotted amidst schools of bannerfish and fusiliers.

Koh Bon is an amazing dive spot, famous primarily for its visiting whalesharks, manta rays and sharks. There are thousands of schooling fish, octopus and cuttlefish. A myriad of corals, anemones and fascinating sea sponges make this an exceptional dive spot teeming with life.
