Plongée à Similan Islands — Thailand
The Similan Islands open only from October to May and reward the timing with some of the best visibility in Southeast Asia. Massive granite boulder formations create swim-throughs and overhangs draped in soft corals, while the deeper sites bring manta rays and the occasional whale shark.
