Why dive here
With 173+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, whale sharks and clownfish - Tachai Reef offers some of Similan Islands's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
Tachai Reef in the Similans gives divers a chance to explore a sprawling coral network. We often find schooling fusiliers here, sometimes so dense they dim the light. It's a relaxed dive, good for those wanting to take their time over the reef, rather than chasing pelagics.
