Divers can also encounter leopard sharks, reef sharks, moray eels, octopus, cuttlefish, and vibrant reef fish such as sweetlips and trevallies. The site features a dramatic wall and ridge covered in soft corals and sea fans.Koh Tachai – Big Schools & Pelagic Action : Known for its strong currents and impressive underwater pinnacles, Koh Tachai offers exciting dives with large schools of barracuda, trevally, fusiliers, and other hunters. Occasional sightings of manta rays and whale sharks occur during the season. The site also hosts nudibranchs, shrimps, and healthy soft coral formations around massive granite boulders.Richelieu Rock – Thailand’s Best Marine Biodiversity: Richelieu Rock is one of the richest dive sites in Thailand, renowned for its extraordinary diversity of marine life. Expect huge schools of fish, barracudas, snappers, trevallies, and seasonal encounters with whale sharks. Macro lovers will find ghost pipefish, seahorses, harlequin shrimp, frogfish, nudibranchs, and countless critters hidden within soft corals, anemones, and sea fans.Boonsung Wreck – Fish Clouds & Macro Haven: This shallow wreck is packed with marine life, often so dense you can barely see the structure beneath the schools of snappers, fusiliers, batfish, and trevally. The wreck is home to moray eels, porcupinefish, lionfish, scorpionfish, rays on the sandy bottom, and a wide variety of nudibranchs and small critters — perfect for photographers and macro enthusiasts.Good to KnowDiscover the best of the Similan & Andaman dive sites, where vibrant reefs, big fish action, and stunning pinnacles start from 20–30 meters.
