Shark Canyon AKA Christmas Point Deep
This site is among the most rewarding in the Similans. With frequent sightings of all the varieties sharks found on the Similans, in addition to such huge visitors as the Manta Ray and Whale Shark, you will also find Barracuda, Jacks, Napolean Wrasse and many more besides.
Being exposed and on the far Northen Tip of the Islands, this extension of Christmas Point is very deep and prone to currents. While there are risks with Downward currents and thermoclines, the rewards are enormous. With such depths and risks, this should only be done by experienced divers.
Diving depths range from 20-40 meters (70-130 feet) and most of our time is spent at 25-35 meters (90-120 feet)
Currents are actually to be expected and should be accounted for in planning.
Visibility is usually 20 meters (70 feet).
Experience level – Advanced or higher.
