Liveaboard Diving in the Similan Islands Thailand

The Similan's is a first-class diving destination consistently voted one of the top ten dive sites of the world, due to its vast marine life, liveaboard accessibility, world renown service on the liveaboards and scenery that every diver should be surrounded by at least once in their lifetime.

The Similan Islands in Thailand is made up of nine granite islands covered in lush, tropical jungle with powder soft beaches and crystal clear waters. Only Liveaboard's can take you to the underwater scenery of huge boulder formations, beautiful hard and soft coral gardens, holes, overhangs, swimthroughs and canyons. The profusion of marine life that showers the Phuket waters includes regular sightings of Manta Rays, Whale Sharks, Reef Sharks, large schools of barracuda and snapper, octopus, turtles, leopard sharks, moray eels plus plenty of macro life.

With dive site names such as Richelieu Rock, Donald Duck Bay, Elephant Head Rock, East of Eden, Breakfast Bend, Fantasea Reef, Shark Fin Reef and Snapper Alley the Similans provide the perfect bed time log book entries for any level of diver. The views of the unspoilt Similan Island bays as the sun sets are spectacular and a memory every diver should have. The Similan Islands lie approx. one hundred kilometres northwest of Phuket in Thailand. The main departure point is Thap Lamu.
