StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

North Point offers a gentle introduction to the Similans, making it a good choice for newer divers. The sloping reef is scattered with large coral bommies, home to resident clownfish and groups of fusiliers. Keep an eye out for leopard sharks resting on the sand patches in deeper areas. It’s a pretty relaxed dive, often with mild currents.
