Adang Sea Divers - Similan Islands
The team at Adang Sea Divers are the kind of people you want to dive with. We’ve always been big fans of their focus on small groups, which makes a huge difference to the whole experience out here. Forget the cattle boats; these guys really tailor the trip to what you want to see and your comfort level. They run all the SSI courses, right up to Instructor Trainer, so if you’re thinking about taking your diving further in a relaxed, supportive atmosphere, this is definitely a place we'd suggest. What we really appreciate is their genuine commitment to the marine environment. You can feel it in how they brief dives and their choice of sites. Expect to spend your surface intervals spotting hornbills in the trees or just soaking in the quiet. They dive the Tarutao National Marine Park, and our favourite spots often involve drift dives past vibrant soft corals, where you just glide along, watching schools of fusiliers part for you. Keep an eye out for blacktip reef sharks cruising the deeper sections, especially in the early morning. If you’re looking for a centre that prioritises a personal touch and shares your love for keeping the ocean healthy, Adang Sea Divers absolutely nails it.
