Elephant Head Rock

Located in the middle of the sea between islands 7 and 8 in the Similan Islands, this reef dive site stands out in the middle of the sea. It was named after the shape of the rock sticking out of the water, which resembles the head of an elephant. The point is made up of huge layers of granite, dotted with numerous channels and swim-throughs that create a mystical landscape. The tide is good, and you can expect the feeding scene of the crabs, sharks and big fish in the early morning. In the shallow water, you can often find oversized trevally targeting small fish. This is one of the most dynamic dive sites in the Similan Islands.

White tip sharks are see in deeper water early in the morning. The mid-tier is stocked with a variety of fusiliers, including yellowbacks, yellow dashes, and blue dashes, while bluefin and bluefin tuna, as well as bluefin trevally, are looking for feeding opportunities. The bottom of the water is also home to macroscopic life such as flounder eels, Andaman’s Jawfish and McCoskers Flasher Wrasse.
