Similan & Surin Islands have more tropical variety of under water landscape than most other dive destinations around the world. The islands are recognized as some of the best diving sites world-wide. There are big boulders of rock, huge sea fans, barrel sponges, caves, 'swim through’, dramatic ‘drop offs’ and a paradise for any kind of marine life. The arias were designated as a National Park in 1982. Nearby the Surin Islands is Richelieu Rock found, world-famous for many sightings of the whale shark. Koh Bon and Koh Tachai are top class dive sites just the same and the best spots to see manta rays.

The islands got known because of the pinkish-red soft corals and large sea fans that cover both reef formations. Spectacular ‘drop offs’ go down to 50 meter. Huge schools of fish patrolling along the reefs. Amazing marine creatures as ghost-pipefish and seahorses are seen. This is also quite a good place to see sharks and especially whale sharks. At depth where the coral ends and the sand take over "garden eels" rule and leopard sharks are often spotted. The arias also become a National Park in 1982.

Phuket and Phi Phi Island

Phuket nestles in balmy Andaman Sea waters on Thailand's Indian Ocean coastline 862 kilometres south of Bangkok. Phuket formerly derived its wealth from tin and rubber, and enjoyed a rich and colourful history. The islands were on one of the major trading routes between India and China, and was frequently mentioned in foreign trader’s ship logs. There are hundreds of deserted coves and bays fringed with white sandy beaches. This region certainly presents the opportunity of hundreds of exiting new dive sites. The greatest attraction – sharks as leopards, grey-reefs, white-tips, silver-tips, nurse and whale sharks. The sharks mostly found in deeper waters. Schools of manta rays and big schools of giant groupers are often seen as well.
