Deep six dive site is one of the most famous of the Similans. Here you can see very beautiful hard coral, soft coral gardens, sponges and huge granite boulders. You can also find many pelagic fishes like Giant trevallies, dogtooth tunas and rainbow runners. They are attracted by the large school of fusiliers often there. Go a bit deeper and you may find whitetip reef sharks, Leopard Sharks and blue spotted stingrays. Unfortunately lots of coral, including table coral and sea fans, has been damaged by the 2004 Tsunami but the reef is slowly recovering. It is located on the north tip of the Similan Island number 6.
Best time to dive: the ideal period to plan holidays here isOctober to November. Access: from the Shore. See the map of Deep Six on the right for the exact location.
