Why dive here
With 173+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, whale sharks and clownfish - Koh Mae Urai/ เกาะแม่อุไร offers some of Similan Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
Koh Mae Urai, often overlooked for its flashier neighbours, offers a gentle dive perfect for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed second tank. The reef slopes down to a modest 15 meters, making it easy to manage your air and bottom time. We usually find groups of yellowback fusiliers here, often accompanied by the resident blue-spotted stingrays resting on the sand patches. It’s a site that rewards a slow pace, letting you really observe the smaller stuff, like the cleaner shrimp stations and the occasional camouflaged scorpionfish.
