Why dive here
With 173+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, whale sharks and clownfish - SEA CRAB offers some of Similan Islands's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
Sea Crab, a small barge that went down in '75, sits in just a couple of metres of water. It's a proper rust bucket now, completely colonised by small reef fish and soft corals. You won't be doing much penetration here, but it's great for peering into crevices where you might spot juvenile snapper or a moray eel tucked away. Honestly, it’s more of an interesting snorkel than a dive, or a quick safety stop at the end of a deeper Similan dive.
