Similan Island Dive Sites

North Point

Similan Island No.9 - Koh Bangru

North Point has large granite boulder pinnacles situated off its north coast. These boulders are lying on thirty five metres and rise to ten metres, forming swim-throughs and gullies between the rocks.

As you dive down the rocks you've a good chance of encountering leopard sharks at the bottom.

In the shallows closer to Similan Island 9, between eight and fourteen metres, there are enormous flat plains of cauliflower leaf corals and stubbly finger corals. Covering as much area as you can here, you're bound to run into green turtles and black and white banded sea snakes.
