The Similan Islands

The Similan Islands National Marine Park is a group of 9 islands situated some 100 km northwest of Phuket where sea-life is in abundance and variety. The unspoilt crystal clear waters that surround these evergreen forest islands offer some of the best liveaboard diving in Thailand.

The Similan diving experience will take you from the west side of the island which is composed of giant, striking granite boulder formations, over to the east side, which protected from the southwest monsoon, is composed mainly of sloping reefs. On this Similan liveaboard you will get the chance to dive with manta rays, leopard sharks, turtles and giant moray eels amongst the pristine coral gardens.

Further north of the Similan Islands are Koh Bon and Koh Tachai, two of the most famous Similan diving sites where manta rays swim against a stunning backdrop of limestone cliffs and soft coral gardens.

Furthermore, some of the best diving Thailand has to offer are the giant submerged pinnacles of Richelieu Rock. Rated as one of the top dive sites in the world, it is almost completely covered in beautiful, colourful purple and yellow soft corals. On this Similan liveaboard you will see an extremely rich collection of Marine life – with regular sightings of ghost pipe fish, frogfishes, giant barracudas as well as seahorses, and frequent whale shark visits!

The Surin Islands

Positioned 100 km north of the Similan Islands lie another group of unspoilt islands where few liveaboard dive boats venture. This is the very northernmost point before entering Burmese waters only 10 km away. You will find even more beautiful dive sites where there have been sightings of marlins, guitarfish and white-tip sharks to name a few. The sandy white beaches and crystalline waters are truly a tropical paradise.
