Similan Dive Sites – North Point

This is another of the great sites on the Northern end of the Similans. Just to the East is Breakfast Bend and to the West is Christmas Point This is actually the most Northern of all the sites actually on the Similans. Because of that we get currents and thermoclines – but also we get big stuff! Great Sea fans filter out the particulates and the Manta’s (hopefully) eat. Very frequent visitors are Napoleon Wrasse, Leopard Sharks and Ghost Pipefish. That means keep you eyes open for the giants and the tiny.


Of course all the usual dive buddies are here – Sweetlips, Snappers, Kuhl’s Rays, Angelfish and lots of Staghorn Coral. But at the end of the dive in the shallows we often find turtles munching away at the corals. You can even hear them grinding away sometimes!


If you are trained to dive deeper there is another pinnacle North of the main site that is just gorgeous. Deep and far enough away to make thing interesting – this site is best done by the very experienced.


With Strong Currents possible this site is best done after a “current Check” and following an experienced guide. As with most of these sites, following the inexperienced guides can lead to disaster. Not only are deco limits to be watched but the site itself can be missed!


The depths on this site aren’t extraordinary, but depending on what dive of the day it is…it’s worth being conservative.


This site is accessible to any level of diver, but Open Water divers may miss some of the great features of this site.

We usually visit this dive site once a week in combination with one of the other Northern Sites, and we have lunch on Island #8. if you have questions or would like to book….Wicked

This site is also frequently part of the scheduled sites for many liveaboards
