Explore Surin Islands

The Surin Islands, located off the west coast of Phang-nga, offer a diving experience that's both exhilarating and diverse, making them a must-visit destination for underwater enthusiasts. Part of the Mu Koh Surin National Park, these islands boast world-class dive sites like Richelieu Rock, Koh Bon, and Koh Torinla. Known for their stunning reefs and vibrant marine life, divers can expect encounters with a plethora of sea creatures, from the elusive ghost pipefish and charming seahorses to the majestic manta rays and whale sharks that occasionally grace these waters. The area's unique underwater landscapes, featuring coral gardens and giant sea fans alongside intriguing boulders where fish take refuge, add an element of mystery and excitement to each dive. Diving in the Surin Islands caters to all skill levels, with shallow sites perfect for beginners and more challenging spots like Richelieu Rock that attract advanced divers. The best way to explore these underwater wonders is through liveaboard trips, starting at Koh Bon and progressing through Koh Tachai and Koh Surin, culminating at the renowned Richelieu Rock. These excursions offer the opportunity to not only explore the Surin Islands but also extend to the nearby Similan Islands, enhancing the overall experience with additional dive sites like Elephant Head and East of Eden. While dive centers in Phuket, Krabi, Khao Lak, and Kuraburi offer day trips, staying on the islands provides a more immersive experience, albeit with limited accommodation options like bungalows and tents on Koh Surin Nua. Seasonal variations bring different marine visitors, ensuring that every dive is a unique adventure in these remarkable waters.
