Similans ~ Island 8 ♦ Waterfall Bay
 
 
  Waterfall Bay
  • Overview:

    Just around the corner from Turtle Rock on the western side of Koh Similan (Island 8), Waterfall Bay actually does have a small waterfall feeding into the bay. Boats may stop here to replenish their fresh water supplies.

  • Characteristics:

    This small, sheltered bay has a sandy bottom with many small boulders, pore coral heads and table corals. Maximum depth is 15-20 meters with little current.


  • Highlights:

    Another popular night dive site because of the lack of current, shallow depths, and many rocks and corals under which daytime reef dwellers tuck in for the night. Look for parrotfish wrapped in their cocoons and for hunting lobsters scurrying around. Occasionally you may see a tawny nurse shark come in for a lobster dinner.


  • Marcia's notes:

    This is another easy, relatively shallow dive site with little current. The site is quite small, so while doing a night dive, no special navigational skill is needed. Wherever you come up, your boat will be nearby!
