    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    The Rock, a granite boulder site in the Similans, offers a different experience from the usual coral reefs. We found it’s mostly about exploring crevices and swim-throughs formed by the rocks themselves. It’s a good spot for finding small critters tucked away, so we’d suggest taking your time and looking closely. Suitable for divers who enjoy a more topography-focused dive rather than big schools of fish.
