Khao Lak Similan Islands and Richelieu Rock Fun Dive
Khao Lak Similan Islands and Richelieu Rock Fun Dive
1 Days • Daily
Dive with Local Dive Khao Lak Thailand
Join Local Dive Khaolak's daily speedboat from Khao Lak for two guided dives at the Andaman Sea's best-known offshore sites. The day of the week sets the destination: Similan Islands 5 and 7 on Monday and Wednesday, Richelieu Rock on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, Koh Bon on Friday and Koh Tachai on Sunday.
Each site has its own character. Richelieu Rock is a lone pinnacle dressed in purple soft coral, where guides point out seahorses and harlequin shrimp. Koh Bon's ridge draws manta rays in season, Koh Tachai's open pinnacles bring schooling fish and current, and the Similans swap current for granite swim-throughs and grazing turtles. Book two or three days and no two will look alike.
