Pileh Wall 2 - Similan Islands

Pileh Wall 2 is a nice, straightforward dive, especially for those newer to wall diving. We’re talking a gentle slope down to about 16 metres, not too deep, not too much to think about. You’ll find lots of those smaller reef fish tucked into crevices, plenty of angelfish and butterflyfish flitting about. It's a relaxed spot to practice buoyancy and just soak in the reef. If you’re looking for an easy afternoon dive, this one fits the bill.
