Thailand Andaman SeaRacha Noi another further South offers on the east side sandy areas with hard corals and rock formations. One truly spectacular dive site is the "SouthTip". Giant boulders are nicely covered with soft corals and the scenery is almost like Similan Islands. Deep water around guarantees good visibility and occasional strong current put forward and bigger pelagics such as barracudas, leopard sharks, eagle rays, blackspotted stingrays, big groupers and manta rays.

Myanmar (Burma) Andaman SeaThis site goes by many names
3 Stooges (Three Islets) or Shark Cave or In Through the outdoor.
Distance from Phuket: 170 NM
Distance from Victoria Point: 53 NM
3 Stooges consists of one small island and two large rocks, all of which rise above the surface. Each could be considered a separate site; there is no way to see them all on a single dive, or even a full day of diving.
All three are perfectly suited for multilevel profiles, with thriving marine life from the bottom to the surface.
Underwater, the combination of unusual topography and a tremendous variety of creatures makes this one of the best dive sites in the Mergui Archipelago.
Nearly every square meter is riddled with crevices that provide shelter and holdfasts for an enormous volume of fish and invertebrate life. Aside from the marine life, another outstanding feature is a large canyon on the north end of the main island where you can encounter up to a dozen semi-resident grey reef sharks.
Past the canyon on the right you will find an opening to a tunnel that runs completely through the island and exits on the east side at about 15m. Be sure not to disturb the several huge tawny nurse sharks that sometimes rest within the crevices as you pass through.

Thailand Andaman SeaShark Point is part of a Marine Sanctuary that was created in 1992, where there is no commercial fishing, and collecting marine life is forbidden. You will find a reef teaming with life, and a sandy bottom where leopard sharks often rest. It is very colourful, with schools of tropical fish, sea fans and soft corals covering the rock. It can be hard work finning with a quite brisk current, but they do tend to run parallel to the reef. A good photograhic dive.

Thailand Andaman SeaThe dive site is a huge pinnacle that starts at its peak just below the surface and then decends some 30m. It took about an hour to reach by boat, but was well worth the wait. We saw sea anemones as far as the eye could see that looked like huge fields swaying in the breeze. There are plenty of fish to photograph, including tuna, barracuda, tropical and clown fish and an abundance of lion fish. Although we did not see any we were told that you could find leopard shark here.
