The Bay, Koh Bon

This dive site is actually between Koh Bon Bay and West Ridge. A good place to jump from the boat into the water, as you can dive without currents. Viewing the waterfall from below is a natural spectacle in itself.

Bon Island, cerca de 50 km a oeste de Khao Lak, é uma ilha de calcário elevado, cerca de 20 km ao norte das Ilhas Similan. Este é um longo e estreito ponto de cume no lado oeste da ilha.

Área rasa agradável para mergulho com um recife ligeiramente inclinado. Você pode nadar do North Ridge sobre o West Ridge e até a baía. As correntes são geralmente fracas a moderadas.

Not for beginners! Koh Bon Pinnacle starts at 22m and ends at 45m or deeper. Beautiful vegetation with lots of yellow soft corals are here. There are no descent ropes available. Doing a negative entry is an advantage!

This point is located northeast of the 9th island in the Similan Islands. It is named after the three large trees that are used to mark the entry, from a shallow depth of about 5 meters to a reef slope of about 18 meters, beyond which there is a pure white sandy area dotted with isolated roots. Offshore, there are beautiful rocky areas with schools of soft corals, where you can see large fish. Because the tide splits on the island, the tide is clear and you can enjoy drift dives when the tide is strong.

Breakfast Bend is a very elongated reef. It is slightly sloping with a max depth of 35m. The upper part is full of hard corals, then from 16/18m there is more sand with isolated coral blocks that are beautifully covered in glassfish.

Como o nome sugere, Ponto Norte é o local de mergulho mais ao norte das Ilhas Similan, localizado no lado norte da Ilha 9. O terreno é variado, com sobreposições maciças de granito formando grandes muros, canais e canais de mergulho.

Christmas Point is located on the western corner of Island 9 in the Similan Islands. It is named after the root of the thornbeam (English name: Christmas tree worm) that grows in clusters. Intricate rock formations eroded by tidal currents create channels and swim-throughs that provide dynamic terrain. Be careful out in the deep area along the rocks, as the tide is fast in some conditions.

Um local de mergulho fácil na Ilha 8. Você pode mergulhar dentro ou fora da baía através de um canal. Você só pode mergulhar com pouca corrente, caso contrário, você só pode mergulhar de uma maneira como um mergulho à deriva. Na área rasa é muito rochoso e depois fica arenoso nas profundidades mais profundas.

The Dome is a hidden reef point located about 500m south of Tachai Island. A large dome-shaped bedrock shaped like an upturned plate is dotted around a large granite boulder. The top of is at 12 meters and the current can be the strongest in the area depending on the conditions. As a result, there are many large predatory fish such as blue and white trevally, bluefin tuna, barracudas, manta rays, and whale bays.
