Ambiance Big Fishes Sharks Drift
This is a dive site which in many ways typifies Similan Islands scuba diving since it is dominated by the enormous granite boulders, arches and swim-throughs that make diving here unlike anywhere else. Using the walls as substrate, soft corals and huge sea fans proliferate and act as the backdrop to the passing sharks, jacks and fusiliers.
It's often visited by large Pelagics: plenty of Sharks, Napolean Wrasse, Huge Jacks and Schools of Barracudas. You can also see plenty of Macro as well - Nudibranchs, Frogfish and Ribbon eels.
Depths 8 - 36m. Visibility 18 - 24m. Intermediate expertise required. Drift dives are popular, as strong Currents happen here often - do a current check before entering, or you might do a blue drift dive.
A short way due east (ie. off the northern island tip) lies The Pinnacles which is visited by some dive companies.
