Surin Islands and Richelieu Rock

The Surin Islands are another spectacular marine National Park, 50 nautical miles from the Similans and close to the Burmese border.

Above the water, the five islands are close together and covered in rainforest, with the largest inhabited by a small Sea Gypsy community.

Under the water, hard coral reefs, similar to the east side of the Similans and hawksbill turtles can be seen along with huge varieties of colorful reef fish. The top dive site though, lies at Richelieu Rock, 9 nautical miles east of the Surin Islands. This rocky outcrop offers simply the best in the Surin area. Covered by soft corals the Richelieu Rock just seems to draw every fish in the ocean.It’s also the place where you’re most likely to see the magnificent Whaleshark. More are encountered here than anywhere else.

To swim close to one of these huge gentle fish is the thrill of lifetime. If you are lucky you may see a rare shovelnose ray or guitarfish, observe cuttlefish mating rituals or pass by schools of cruising chevron barracuda. Quite special. Liveaboard Trips only.
