Why dive here
With 173+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, whale sharks and clownfish - Tha Tang Lake ขุมน้ำบ้านท่าแตง offers some of Similan Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
Tha Tang Lake, or Khum Nam Ban Tha Tang, is a bit of a departure from the usual Similan granite boulder dives. It's shallow, topping out at 8 meters, making it an ideal spot for beginners or a relaxed second dive. You won't find dramatic drop-offs here, but instead, a gently sloping sandy bottom interspersed with small coral patches. We’ve seen quite a few juvenile reef fish seeking shelter, and it’s a good place to look for smaller critters like gobies and blennies if you take your time. If you’re not chasing big pelagics and want a mellow dive, this is a solid choice.
