    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Tu Khao Lak isn't a headline grabber like some of the Similans' more famous pinnacles, but it offers a genuinely pleasant dive, especially if you're looking for a slightly calmer pace. We've often found it a good spot for a second or third dive of the day, when you want to just relax and watch the reef do its thing. The staghorn and table corals are prominent, creating plenty of hidey-holes for smaller critters, and you'll usually spot schools of Indian scad darting around. It’s a solid choice for macro enthusiasts or divers who appreciate a healthy, if not dramatic, reefscape.
