Similan Dive Sites – Southern Sites

The Southern Similan sites feature a couple of the best sites in all the Similans. Shark Fin Reef and Boulder City. These are unusual in that they are on the Eastern side of the chain, but are rocky sites.
We are only listing one site, Coral Garden, among the Southern sites. There is some argument over what is actually available to dive. Khao Lak dive shops have been warned that these islands (#1 & #2) are off limits. This may or may not be true. IT IS FORBIDDEN to go onto these islands, as they are turtle nesting beaches and very delicate ecosystems!

Shark fin reef is barely submerged and has a couple of different mooring buoys – your DM will choose the appropriate one.

With these sites slightly off the normal routine, you will find fewer divers and more of the easily disturbed fish life (rays, Leopard Sharks) and some other treats – Bumphead Parrotfish and Manta’s.

These sites are usually visited once a week on our daytrips or one the final day of a Phuket based liveaboard trip.
