Why dive here
With 173+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, whale sharks and clownfish - Stone Coral Garden offers some of Similan Islands's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
The Stone Coral Garden, sitting at a mellow 12 metres, is exactly what it sounds like – a garden built from, well, stone corals. It's a great spot for those just getting their fins wet, or for anyone looking for a relaxed second dive of the day. We've often spent a good hour here spotting pufferfish tucked into the hard coral heads, and sometimes a shy blue-spotted stingray cruising the sandy patches. The light filters down beautifully through the shallows, making it an easy, pleasant dive without any real current to worry about.
