Breakfast Bend dive site is located on the Similan Island number 9. It features an abundant fish life with many groupers and trevallies swimming around. The reef goes from a shallow coral garden to 25 meters deep. It is a good dive site to spot Leopard Sharks and Turtles. The coral there is beautiful and in good shape despite the 2004 Tsunami. This spot is perfect for a welcoming dive on a Similan Liveaboard as well as for a relaxing night dive! The shallow coral garden offers good snorkelling opportunities. Enjoy ![]()
Best time to dive: the ideal period to plan holidays here is October to November. Access: Boat. See the map of Breakfast Bend on the right for the exact location.
