| The Andaman Sea is without
doubt the best diving in Thailand. We offer
a number of first class dive sites….Many large
ocean travellers, like Whale Sharks, Manta
Rays and Pilot Whales are frequent visitors
to this area….
We listed a few of the most common dive
sites around phuket:
ANEMONE REEF 
(Dive site Rating)
This unique and colorful divesite is a
huge limestone pinnacle that soars 30 meters
up from the seafloor to just 4 meters underneath
the surface then abruptly ends and drops
back to a sandy bottom .
This barely submerged reef is a well known
shipping hazard and is located less than
a mile north of Shark Point . The Thai name
for this site is Hin Jom (underwater rock
) . Although not as colourful as Shark Point
this site is famous for its vast fields
of sea anemones that cling to every conceivable
surface swinging and swaying with the current
.
The profusion of sea anemones and the nutrient-rich
water are a magnet to a constant parade
of reef fish seeking food and shelter .
Here you will find enormous Gorgonian sea
fans , lots of colorful hard & softcorals
and a resident Hawksbill Turtle can be seen
feeding or resting in the crevices of the
rocks . For the macro enthusiast , nudibranches
, sea slugs , Frogfish , Ghostpipefish and
juvenile Morays are there for your trained
eyes to discover . Enormous schools of tropical
fish , Snappers , Groupers and colorful
Clownfish , along with larger game-fish
like Tuna and Barracuda , and the occasional
Leopard Shark can often be seen passing
by.
