We cruise in paradise!
Koh Bon Island
Koh Bon is only a short cruise north of the Similan Islands and is without doubt the best site for Manta Rays. The dive site follows a ridge, covered in pastel shaded soft corals, which drops to depths of 35-40 meters. Mantas are often spotted over the ridge or in the deep water to the south. Leopard sharks are also common in the deeper water and this is a good location to find the elusive Purple Fire Goby.
Koh Tachai
The island of Koh Tachai lies about 20 nautical miles South of Richelieu Rock and can be another great spot for Manta Rays. The top of the reef is a beautiful mixture of hard corals, while deeper regions consist of scattered boulders and sea fans. Leopard sharks are commonly found resting on the bottom, while schools of Barracuda and Batfish cruise around the reef.
Richelieu Rock
Some 50 nautical miles north of the Similan Islands lies one of the best known dive sites in Asia. Just breaking the surface at low tide, Richelieu Rock is probably your best chance to have the whale shark experience. In Thailand you can find a huge variety of marine life and underwater scenery. The reefs of the Similan Islands are well known worldwide, while the islands of Phuket, Phi Phi and Koh Tao attract divers and sun seekers alike. But top of most peoples diving wish list, is to dive with a whale shark.
