Dive Spot of A Package : Surin, Koh Tachai, Koh Bon & Richelieu Rock

Surin National Park

It is located just below the border with Burma on the northern end of the Thai coastline. There are five islands in all, but the two most popular are Ko Surin Neua (north island) and Ko Surin Tai (south island). Other are three smaller islets and two rocky outcrops. The islands are uninhabited except for the national park camp and a traditional Mokken sea gypsy village (the same group that roam the Burma Mergui Archipelago).

The Surin Island chain are a series of jungle covered granite outcrops that are ringed with coral reefs to a depth of 25-30 meters.

These islands were designated as a national park in 1981, and are famous for excellent diving and sport fishing. Many of Thailand's islands boast fantastic scenery and Koh Surin is no different. Indeed, many visitors claim that the topside beauty of Surin's verdant evergreen forests, laced with small beaches and mangroves, surpasses even that of the Similan Islands. If you get the opportunity to take a walk through the forests then watch out for crab-eating macaques, flying lemurs and flying foxes, as well as deer and squirrels. Bird watchers can enjoy sightings of hornbills, Nicobar pigeons, collared kingfishers, drongos and babblers, as well as birds of prey such as sea-eagles and kites. Turtles still follow an age-old ritual to come ashore here and lay their eggs.

The world famous dive site of Richelieu Rock lies 15 km further to the east of Mu Koh Surin National Marine Park.

Surin is also a fantastic site for snorkeler.

Dive Spot of B Package : Similan, Koh Tachai, Koh Bon & Richelieu Rock

Similan National Park

Similan is the most famous and beautiful group of dive sites in the western coast of Thailand. It is the group of nine tropical jungle covering islands and located about one hundred kilometers northwest of Phuket. The islands are surrounded by a clear blue tropical ocean and blessed with some of the world's finest beaches. By drawing an imaginary line from north to south, we divide the area into our two separate types of environments.

The east coast, with its powdery beaches, features hard coral gardens which slope dramatically from the surface down to approximately 30-40 metres, where sand takes over as the water depth increases. On this side, the most popular activity is drift diving along healthy coral gardens while watching the reef inhabitants go about their business. In several sites, large coral bommies rise from the bottom and are covered with soft corals, sea fans, and an enormous amount of critters and unusual fish. East coast Similan Islands diving is relatively easy-going, allowing you plenty of time to explore the sites at your own leisurely pace.

The western side of the Similans along with the north and south points can offer more exciting diving as currents swirl around the huge granite boulders-some larger than the largest of houses. These smooth, rounded boulders make dramatic formations, holes, and overhangs ("swim-throughs") underwater where divers can enjoy swimming with the current through the openings. Growing on these boulders are some of the most colorful soft corals imaginable, in many places so thick that the rock is no longer visible. In the larger passages or channels between the boulders, the fans grow to a size sometimes three metres across, and are often so tightly bunched together that it makes it impossible to swim through the passages. Most of the dive sites on the west coast are best seen with a guide, since navigation can be tricky.

There are many famous dive sites in Similan, among them following are our favorite dive sites;
