Simlan Islands - best diving in the world?

The Guardian newspaper in Britain certainly thinks so - The Similan Islands are listed as the 9th best diving in the world! Why not see if they are right?

To quote:
"9. Surin and Similan Islands, Thailand Close to the border between Thai and Burmese waters lie a string of islands in the Andaman Sea. There is an element of “wilderness diving” hereabouts and a huge choice of little visited dive sites. At Koh Bon, the pinnacle rises from the ocean depths and attracts groups of feeding game-fish as well as whale sharks, mantas and leopard sharks. Richelieu Rock is a similarly rich site, world famous among experienced divers for the plethora of macro-life inhabiting its coral encrusted slopes."

So we have similan liveaboard trips departing twice weekly - only 3 days and 2 nights, so we can easily fit your schedule. In addition we are the only eco-friendly boat operating. We use organic soaps, detergents and shampoos and they are all biodegradable so we don't affect the corals. In addition we use biofuels, all organic cotton sheets and towels. The trips include reef awareness dives and we actively work to preserve the reefs and the islands.

We are also doing two whale shark research trips in 2009 - In February and March.
