About
Similan Islands national marine park is widely recognized as the no. 1 SCUBA diving area in Thailand.
From gentle sloping hard coral reefs to wild current swept rocky landscapes. The Western dive sites of the Similan Islands are mostly rocky and the East coast features sloping reefs. This variety makes the Similan Islands very popular.
Richelieu Rock is an isolated pinnacle horseshoe shaped consisting of several groups of rocks, pinnacles, overhangs and small caves. The marine life is bountiful. Small critters such as seahorses, ghost pipefish, harlequin shrimp, frogfish as well as big schools of trevally, barracuda, snappers and fusiliers... Ultimately, what we all hope to see is the giants of the ocean; Whale-shark's and Manta rays.
