The East coast, with its powdery coral beaches, features
hard coral gardens which slope dramatically from the surface
down to approximately 30-40 meters. Here, the most popular
activity is drift diving along hard-coral gardens while watching
the reef inhabitants go about their business. At several sites,
large coral bommies covered with soft coral and sea fan rise
dramatically from the bottom.
If you enjoy watching and photographing small fish, the Similans
are unrivaled for the sheer numbers and variety of tropicals.
We see whale sharks, while large cow tail rays and leopard
sharks are reasonably common. We will also see white tip and
black tip sharks, and over the years we have seen schools
of pseudo orcas or false killer whales. Don’t expect
big fish action every dive, enjoy the Similans for what they
are famous for: wild, unspoiled beaches, magnificent coral
growth, prolific fish life, crystalline blue water and sensational
underwater rock formations.
Koh Bon
Koh Bon is located about 20 kilometers North of Koh Similan
- please

facing a small cove, and a step-down ridge that carries on
to depths of over 50 meters.
Leopard sharks are common on the flat areas of the ridge
and on the sandy plane below the wall. Although the soft corals
are not as lush as they are in the Similans, the colors are
radically different and include shades of turquoise, yellow
and blue besides the more common pinks and purples.
Koh Bon is one of the better places in the Andaman Sea to
see Manta rays.
