- At Koh Tachai Pinnacle where we usually have a very fishy dive: barracudas, trevalis, sweetlips, batfish a very nice dive spot. Koh Tachai... Good chances there to spot whale shark, turtles, Manta, reef sharks, Napoleons...
Richelieu Rock are the best places to see whale sharks so keep your eyes opened! But Richelieu Rock is also paradise for underwater photographers focusing on macro life; look well in the soft coral and sea fans for a spectacular array of small critters like seahorse, Pipefish, Ghost Pipefish, Harlequin Shrimp, Frog fish and Nudibranch of all shapes and colours. A delicious and hearty barbecue will of course be on the program around the Surin Islands, as well as an optional Blackwater dive (Free) around the Similan Islands.
