1. 5.0 Richelieu Diving (1 review)
   - Probably the best dive site in Thailand

   The title says it all - go for it and book a diving holiday, which includes the Richelieu Rock! The variety of marine life is stunning from about Feb - to mid-May. Unfortunately, in the summertime fishermen empty the rock of any living creature, but the few remaining fish grow fast and a few months later it is great again See more..
   
2. 4.5 Ko Tachai Island (367 reviews)
   - Great diving spot
   Islands
   
   
   We went there with Similan Sea Safari during our three-day liveaboard trip. The place was amazing. It’s full of rocks covered in beautiful corals. Currents are a bit strong for me but other divers seem to have managed well. Highly recommended if you are a diver! See more..
   
3. 4.5 Elephant Head Rock (52 reviews)
   - One of the top dive sites in the Similans
   Nature & Wildlife Areas
   
   
   You go in a circle around the huge central boulders, in either direction, depending on the current. Depths can go to way beyond 30m, depending on your certification and experience. You'll see sharks at the greater depths. If you're lucky, "Barry", the barracuda is hiding under an overhang in the shallows. You'll need a good guide to take you through all the magnificent swim-thrus, from down at 25m to just below the surface. With good viz this can be the best site in the entire National Marine Park. Also, ask your guide about Elephant Head Pinnacle, which is just off to the ... south-east I believe? No one ever goes there and it is beautiful. Full of pristine coral gardens. But very deep!

4. 4.5 Check-In Andaman (20 reviews)
   - Really enjoyable despite the crowds

   Overall a well organised and enjoyable day. Opportunity to snorkel at 4 different locations and the clear sea water and beautiful sea life was incredible. Don’t expect too much from the food. We were well fed throughout the day but quality was a little basic. This isn’t too much of a problem as long as you realise that the money you’re paying isn’t for a 5* food experience! The big downside for us was that at one of the stops there were at least 10 boats parked in the same area with the surrounding sea filled full of people, at which point they proceeded to throw fruit into the water to lure over a sea turtle. Suddenly there were at least 50 people chasing the turtle around to get a look and a photo. At one point the turtle got close to one of the boats whilst someone was jumping in at the same time and only narrowly missed it. This seems completely unethical and unsafe for the turtle and they should stop doing this! The water is crystal clear and there is already plenty of amazing marine life without having to lure in sea turtles. Be prepared for the whole experience to be generally crowded. It’s obviously a popular excursion and the number of tourists on the beaches does ruin the paradise island feel somewhat! See more..
   
5. 4.0 Similan Islands National Park (1.510 reviews)
   - A must to visit Island (Koh 8) in Thailand.
   National Parks
   
   
   A must to visit island by speed boat (private boat is recommended) before 10pm or weekday to avoid the crowd. White soft sand, crystal clear water & stunning rock with the sailing rock on the top. 2 hours from Phuket/ Phangna so plan for a day trip here. You can spend time having lunch (bring your own), sun bathing, climbing to the top to get the view, walking along white sand beach or enjoying crystal clear water. Don’t try to come during long holidays so everything I describe gonna be much more difficult. See more..
