This
group of nine uninhabited tropic islands lying at about 80km Northwest of
Phuket is considered as The Dive Destination of Thailand, everything is made
to keep them in their currently pristine condition.
Already
long time ago, in Asia Magazine, Similan Archipelago was described as a top
dive destination :
""Every diver has particular favourites, but few would dispute that the Similan
…are one of the best. The visibility tops 100 feet between the November-April
peak season, revealing a wonder world among the giant granite coral-coated
boulders stacked one atop the other to depths of 90 feet and more".
Today they are a fantastic area for all marine life, regulary described in
all diving magazines.
Coral
Reefs are in excellent conditions due to the protection made by the government
starting more than 20 years ago.
