StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

Rocky Point, on the Similan Islands, is a decent option when other sites are busy. The landscape here is mostly huge granite boulders, some stacked precariously, creating interesting swim-throughs and small caves. We often see reef sharks cruising the deeper sections and common Similan residents like lionfish and schooling fusiliers among the rocks. It’s a good spot for newer divers, or for an easy second dive, with generally mild currents.
