Similan
Islands:
The Similan Islands are
rated as one of the top 10
dive destinations in the world.
The islands lie about 100 km
Northwest of Phuket and were
declared a National Park in
1982. The Similan Islands are
comprised of 9 granite islands
which run roughly North to South. The Similan Islands are some the worlds
most beautiful and unspoiled islands.
On the western side of the islands, huge granite boulders are stacked on
top of one another creating magnificent archways, and plunging drop-offs.
Most of these granite boulders are so completely covered in colorful soft
corals that the rock is no longer visible. Diving on the eastern side of
the islands can give you the impression of diving in another part of the
world. Here hard coral gardens gradually slope down to approximately 30-40
meters where sand takes over as the water depth increases. Massive schools
of colorful tropical fish are attracted to the nutrient rich water that
swirls around these islands.

Southern Sites:
Hin Daeng
Hin Daeng is a huge dive site with depths down to well
below normal recreational limits. The South West side drops to over
60m, creating a steep wall of soft corals - leopard sharks are often
seen in this area, and keep an eye out for whalesharks or manta rays.
The East side has the best soft coral growth and two ridges that slope
gently into deeper water. Pelagic fish such as jacks hang out close
to the rock. In shallower areas moray eels are commonly found hiding
in cracks in the rock face. Hin Daeng is also good for critters such
as nudibranchs, cowrie shells and various species of shrimps.
Hin Muang
Hin Muang lies just 200
meters from Hin Daeng. This
totally submerged reef resembles
a huge loaf of bread. The formation
is about 200 meters long and
approximately 15-18 meters
wide. In the middle of the
reef there is a 25 meter wide
valley and on all sides the
reef drops to more than 50
meters. The translation of
Hin Muang means "purple rock", which is a suitable description for a reef that is
literally covered with colourful anemones all over except for the valley where
you will often find Octopuses or Leopard Sharks lying around. You can also expect
to see an extraordinary array of marine life at this world class dive site.
