SIMILAN ISLANDS should have a very high priority if you are a certified scuba diver. You can go as an Open Water (OW) diver, but since many of the dive sites have depth deeper than 18 meters, you will have the optimal experience being certified as an Advanced Open Water (AOW) diver.
SIMILAN ISLANDS are one of the 10 best dive destinations in the world. Different divers have of cause different preferences. Some think Micronesian is the best, some Similan Islands, some The Maldives, Some Cosumel, some Caribbean, some The Great Barrier Reef, some Indonesian, some Burma Banks or one of the many other beautiful and interesting dive sites all over the world, but Similan Island is never below no. 10 on the list.
The variety of the tropical marine life is the reason that makes this particular dive destination so interesting and adventurous. There are from trip to trip still found species of fish and corals which have not been registered yet - imagine it was you, and you returned home and told your friends and fellow divers that now they risk seeing a fish or coral bearing your name!!!

The Similan Trip |
After we have picked you up from your hotel, we start the trip from Tablamu Pier.
1 hour 30 minutes we arrive to Similan Island, and when the non divers have gone on the beach, we do the first dive. Than you have some lunch at the restaurent and surface time on the encredible white beach, where you can relax and get ready for the second dive.
When the last dive is finished, we return back to Tablamu Pier, and bring you back to your hotel.
It is also possible to do daytrips to Koh Bon/Koh Tachai or Richelieu Rock, but on these trips you need to ask for availebility, hence not enough booked divers - no trip.
