StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

Eagle Rock is a Similan site we often visit early in the trip, making it a good warm-up dive. It’s a shallow spot, topping out around 22 metres, which is forgiving for less experienced divers or those getting back into the swing of things. The terrain here is mostly rocky, with plenty of nooks and crannies to peer into. We've seen blue-spotted stingrays tucked into the sand, and we keep an eye out for moray eels poking their heads from under the boulders. It’s a reliable spot for getting comfortable in the water and enjoying some casual reef exploration.
