StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

Snapper Alley is a good spot for a relaxed dive in the Similans, particularly if you're looking for macro life. We often find juvenile reef fish sheltering amongst the coral bommies. It's a fairly shallow site, making it a nice choice for newer divers or those who prefer longer bottom times to really explore the nooks and crannies. You won't find huge pelagics here, but the smaller critters make it worthwhile.
