SIMILAN ISLANDS PHUKET THAILAND
Approximately 100 km Northwest of Phuket in the Andaman sea, the Similan islands
are regarded as one of the top ten dive sites in the world, due to the diversity,
scale and quality of their reefs and the barren beauty of their boulder formations.
The Similan islands were designated by the Thai government as a marine sanctuary
in 1982 and the Islands have now become the jewel in the crown of the Thai dive industry
and are protected as such.
This has allowed the ecosystem to flourish under the protection of Park wardens,
who guard against the band practice of any type of fishing with net, line or dynamite,
(as once was the want of some). These regulations have made their mark and the beauty
of the Islands above water and below, must be one of the most memorable sights anywhere
in the world. Above the water they boast lush tropical foliage, strange rock formations
and pristine white sandy beaches. Below the blue water they offer the diver and snorkeller
a unique opportunity to see the result of millennial erosion on granite rocks, immense
swathes of Coral reef and a diversity of marine life that is second to none.
