StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

Deep Six in the Similans is an advanced drift dive, best tackled when the currents are running. We drop onto large granite boulders forming swim-throughs and small caves, often sheltering white-tip reef sharks and resting leopard sharks. Keep an eye out in the blue for schooling fusiliers and trevally. It’s a site for experienced divers comfortable with surge and navigating cracks in the rock.
