Adang - Rawee diving sites
|
At the southern tip of Thailand are located some remote dive sites that few people have visited. However, the beauty and diversity of the underwater world here is not inferior to others. It is one of the three most diverse dive sites in Thailand, being comparable to the Surin and Similan Islands. Adang - Rawee is also blessed with many beaches, some of which have seen no trace of humans for years. It is also an interesting historical site for both Sea Gypsies, who consider the sea as their home, and for the legendary pirates of Tarutao, who were sunk for good by British troops in 1947.
Eight-mile Rock is the best dive site in the area. Apart from soft corals and large schools of fish, Whale Sharks and Manta Rays often visit. If the current here is too strong, you can dive at Jabang, where soft corals can be observed in shallow 5-metre waters, and if the visibility is clear and sunlit, a colorful underwater heaven will reveal itself.
