It is really something else and is pretty out of this world! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other notable sites within the area are Christmas Point and Fantasea Reef.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><b>Similan Islands Diving: What You Need to Know<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3><b>Best Time to Go Diving in the Similan Islands<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/thailand\/the-best-dive-spots-in-thailand-must-dive-places\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><b>diving in Thailand<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> happens all year round, the liveaboard season in Thailand runs from <\/span><b>November to May<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best time of the year to dive is in <\/span><b>March<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as the Andaman Sea is at its calmest, with super clear visibility ranging from 25 to 40 meters.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Towards the end of February, the currents get stronger which increases your chances of seeing large marine creatures like manta rays and sharks. If you\u2019re keen on seeing whale sharks, the best time to go is between February to May.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><b>Similan Islands Diving Safety<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally speaking, the Similan Islands are tide-dependent &#8212; if you time your trip during that of a full or new moon, you will most likely face strong currents. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can find a wide variety of dives from sloping coral reefs to rocky gorges. Some dives are classed as challenging due to the depths and currents. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One key piece of advice is to trust your divemasters and listen to their advice. They have been navigating these seas and are all experienced in reading the changes in the water patterns.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good practice is to ensure that you always have a neon dive flag or collapsible pole stowed in your BC pocket in case of the current sweeps you astray. Reef hooks and gloves are also advisable due to the strong currents.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For peace of mind during your diving adventures, we recommend having dive insurance in case of any medical emergencies.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-30128\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/similan-national-park.jpg\" alt=\"similan island national park\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/similan-national-park.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/similan-national-park-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/similan-national-park-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/similan-national-park-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/similan-national-park-360x240.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><b>Best Dive Sites Around the Similan Islands<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2>1. <b>Elephant Head Rock<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elephant Head is definitely one of the best dive sites in the Similan Islands. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is essentially a maze made from giant boulders. It\u2019s called Elephant Head because one of these giant boulders looks like an elephant\u2019s head. Original, right? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Navigate through different swim-throughs, caves and arches while searching for the mystical creatures that live here. Be sure to watch out for the strong currents!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Located south of Island No. 8, you can expect to run into different species of sharks like blacktips, whitetips and leopard sharks. Swim around with barracuda and giant trevallies while discovering all that Elephant Head has to offer. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>2. <b>Christmas Point<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Christmas Point is another site made up of underwater boulders that are surrounded by rich corals and spectacular marine life. It\u2019s just northwest of Island No. 9, and provides divers with tons of little swim-throughs and small crevices to explore. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for leopard sharks, this is the place to dive as they make frequent appearances. You may spot the occasional black and white tip reef sharks, if you\u2019re lucky. At Christmas Point, you\u2019ll also find tons of large fish like barracuda, tunas and Napoleon wrasse. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visibility is great at this site, but it\u2019s quite deep and currents can be strong so it\u2019s best suited for more experienced divers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/dive-spot-blow-you-away-asia_SIMILAN.jpg\" alt=\"similan islands diving liveaboards\" class=\"wp-image-19270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/dive-spot-blow-you-away-asia_SIMILAN.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/dive-spot-blow-you-away-asia_SIMILAN-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/dive-spot-blow-you-away-asia_SIMILAN-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/dive-spot-blow-you-away-asia_SIMILAN-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/dive-spot-blow-you-away-asia_SIMILAN-360x240.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2>3. <b>East of Eden<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">East of Eden gets its name for a food reason. This site provides divers with glorious reefs and the most variety of marine life of any dive site in the area. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is so much to see at this site that it\u2019s considered to be an aquarium dive as you\u2019ll be swimming among countless different species, with something new at every turn. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The current at this site is gentle, and provides divers with a slow drift dive. Turtles are commonly spotted in the shallow reef top and sharks even swim around the area! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re diving in Similan, East of Eden should not be missed. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>4. <b>Beacon Point \/ Reef<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This site is a great mix of reef and wreck, giving divers the best of both worlds. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beacon Point is located near the eastern side of Island No. 8, which is a rocky area filled with boulders buried deep underwater. \u201cAtlantis-X,\u201d a ship that sunk in 2002, is a landmark for Beacon Point and provides great shipwreck exploring for divers. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides the wreck, you\u2019ll find lush corals and tons of different reef fish that have made this area home. During your dive, you\u2019ll see angelfish, butterflyfish, pufferfish, triggerfish and moray eels. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>5. <b>Richelieu Rock<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From surface level, Richelieu Rock appears to be a lone pinnacle, but once underwater it turns into a horseshoe shape grouping of rocks, overhangs, small caves. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although it\u2019s located northeast of the Similan Islands, it\u2019s still considered to be one of the most popular dive sites in Thailand, as well as in all of Asia! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As this area is the only place of shelter between Surin Islands and the mainland, marine life is abundant and you\u2019re sure to run into all types of creatures and soft corals while exploring. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re lucky, you may catch sight of a mating octopus among the seahorses, pelagic fish, and big schools of fish. You may also spot a whale shark and the occasional manta ray! Don\u2019t forget your camera because this is one of the best places for macro photography.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Richelieu Rock is a huge area that is impossible to explore in only one dive. Many liveaboards frequent this site, and give divers at least two dives to be able to see as much as possible before moving on to the next location. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"3752\" height=\"2501\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/best-dive-spots-thailand-SIMILAN.jpg\" alt=\"Fish and coral at the Similan Islands, Thailand\" class=\"wp-image-12704\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/best-dive-spots-thailand-SIMILAN.jpg 3752w, https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/best-dive-spots-thailand-SIMILAN-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/best-dive-spots-thailand-SIMILAN-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/best-dive-spots-thailand-SIMILAN-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/best-dive-spots-thailand-SIMILAN-360x240.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3752px) 100vw, 3752px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><b>How to Get to the Similan Islands<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To get to the Similan Islands, <strong>you&#8217;ll have to fly into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/travel-guides\/thailand-travel-tips\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Thailand<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally speaking, most Similan Islands liveaboards depart from either Chalong Pier in Phuket, Phang-Nga Province, or Thap Lamu Pier in Khao Lak. Some airlines fly directly into Phuket while others may require you to take a connecting flight from Bangkok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We often use <a href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaboard.com\/diving\/thailand\/similan-islands?cid=7042\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><strong>Liveaboard.com<\/strong><\/a> or <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/divebooker.com\/thailand-daz3980?afid=317\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Divebooker <\/a><\/strong>to check prices or find last-minute deals.

With so many sites to choose from, with varying difficulties, it\u2019s no wonder this is considered the best place to scuba dive in Thailand. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most liveaboards in the Similan Islands offer itineraries ranging from two to five nights. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On trips that are four to five nights, divers often spend the first two days diving around the Similan Islands, and followed by diving around Richelieu Rock and Surin Island in the remaining days. This way, divers are able to experience the best of the region without having to pick and choose where to go.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On a typical short liveaboard trip in the Similan Islands, you can expect to dive three times a day, with a possible night dive as well.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Short trips to the Similan Islands are great for a quick diving getaway, or if you want to beef up your diving skills before going on a longer liveaboard trip. Short trips also tend to be reasonably priced (depending on the boat you choose), making them a great budget option when you want to take a diving vacation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><b>Extended Similan Islands Liveaboard Trips<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are select boats that offer longer trips around the Similan Islands lasting a week, give or take. These trips take you to the best of the Similan Islands but also give divers the opportunity to explore the waters of Myanmar. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although Myanmar isn\u2019t a part of the Similan Islands, taking a longer trip will allow you to kill two birds with one stone and essentially take two trips in one. This is special because liveaboards typically stick to one destination, rather than two.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On a week-long trip, you\u2019ll have a hefty mix of reef and wreck dives, with up to four dives every day. Extended trips are generally best for more advanced divers as you\u2019ll visit deeper sites with stronger currents.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Plan your dream Similan Islands liveaboard now!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.liveaboard.com\/diving\/thailand?CID=7042\" width=\"100%\" height=\"900\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing which liveab<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">oard to go with can be a daunting task especially since there are so many options to choose from.

It will all boil down to your budget and what type of experience you are after. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One last thing: make sure to read the fine print as most of the liveaboards have external fees such as National Park tariffs and equipment rental. Make sure you consider those when budgeting and deciding which a liveaboard to go with. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Happy diving!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Looking for more liveaboard inspiration?
