Why dive here
With 173+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, whale sharks and clownfish - Staghorn reef offers some of Similan Islands's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
Staghorn Reef, in Thailand's Similan Islands, gives you exactly what the name implies: extensive fields of branching staghorn coral. It’s a shallower site, perfect for longer bottom times and less experienced divers looking to hone their buoyancy control. Keep an eye out for smaller reef fish darting amongst the branches, and we’ve often spotted the occasional turtle cruising through. It’s a solid, unchallenging dive for a relaxed afternoon.
