Similan Diving Sites
Breakfast Bend
Thailand Dive Sites – Breakfast Bend
One of the best reefs in the area, with lots of vibrant colors and fish. Typical of the Eastern side of the Similans, there is a nice shallow flat area from 0-8 meters (0-25 feet) that is rich in small coral bommies interspersed with sandy patches. Plenty of fish, making the shallows great for snorkeling and beginning dives.
At about 8 meters (25 feet) down to 30 meters (100 feet) runs a gentle sloping reef that is rich in hard corals and all the inhabitants.
At the bottom, frequent visitors are leopard sharks and Kuhl’s rays. A great place to find ghost pipefish!
As you head into the safety stop in the shallows, keep an eye out for hawksbill and green sea turtles. There are plenty of fish keep you entertained during the safety stop.
An excellent drift dive. Due to geography this is a dive best done early in the morning.
