StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

Beacon Point offers a straightforward Similan dive, good for knocking off some bottom time. You’ll find healthy hard corals sloping down, providing shelter for various reef fish and occasional passing pelagics. It’s a decent drift, not usually too wild, making it a comfortable spot for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed multi-level profile. We often see giant trevally cruise by.
