Thailand Diving in Similan Islands - Barracuda Point
Barracuda Point is a good example of the two types of Thailand Diving sites found at the Similan Islands.
In the North you can find a slopping white sand sand bank covered with soft coral bommies and healthy staghorn corals.
If you take a moment and have a closer look on the sandy bottom you will find hundreds of garden eels and many Kuhl's Sting Rays.
In the South East corner is where large granite boulders can be found adorned with sea fans and sea whips.
Strange as it may seem barracudas as seldom seen here! Generally the marine life found here consists of pipefish, batfish, nudibranch's and chance to see grey & white tip reef sharks. This is the only dive site in the Similan Islands where the jaw fish has been found.
