Why dive here
With 173+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, whale sharks and clownfish - White Rock, Pansea offers some of Similan Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
White Rock, also known as Pansea, is a mellow spot in the Similans, ideal for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed second dive. The depth here rarely pushes past 14 meters, making for plenty of bottom time. We usually find it’s a good place to spot leopard sharks resting on the sand, or maybe a turtle cruising through. The rocky reef formations are home to plenty of smaller reef fish and nudibranchs if you take your time to look closely. It’s a comfortable, easy dive, perfect for getting back into the swing of things.
