Thailand :: Similans : East of Eden

Another extremely popular dive site, this series of submerged bommies and pinnacles plays home to countless species of fish. There are also several types of brightly coloured soft corals, sea fans and whip corals. A kaleidoscope of colour is to be taken in here as large schools of fusiliers and snappers sweep around hard coral bommies covered in anemones and red and purple flower-like soft corals. Slight tsunami damage (around 25%) can be observed on the shallower parts of this dive.
