About this dive site
Offshore Andaman islands with reefs away from the Similan crowds.
Surin Islands offer fringing reefs, clear water and Moken heritage near the Myanmar border, often combined with Richelieu Rock on liveaboard loops. Turtles, reef sharks and healthy hard corals show low fishing pressure. Access follows national park rules with seasonal closures like neighbouring Similan.
Most trips target November - April, but wind, swell and current still decide the day's site. Calendar peak is November - April, but skippers still move sites when wind, swell or current change. Book with a crew that knows Surin Islands day to day, not just the map pin.
