StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

Bird Rock, up in the Similans, isn't always the first site divers think of, but it’s a solid choice for an easy afternoon dive. The site is mostly a rocky landscape, with some decent coral growth in the shallower sections. You’ll typically find plenty of reef fish flitting about and sometimes a turtle munching on the corals. It's a relaxed dive, good for shaking off the dust or for divers who prefer a more sedate pace.
