Tor 13 in the Similans is a straightforward site, good for a relaxed dive. We've found it to be a gentle introduction to the area, with a shallow reef that’s easy to navigate at 15m. It's an excellent spot for newer divers, allowing plenty of time to practice buoyancy and observe the smaller reef fish. You'll likely see parrotfish grazing and various anemonefish tending their homes.
