Where can I dive in Similan Island? Rismilan diving guide

There are many nice islands in Phuket. Today Bian Xiao will tell you about one of them, Smilan Island, which is unknown. Now Bian Xiao will tell you the relevant strategies of this place, mainly diving.

Understand Similan Island 1. Open until 20 18.5. 15.

2.Smilan is not an island, but an island group consisting of nine islands, and there is no network on the island.

3. Only Island 4 (with cabin tent) and Island 8 (with tent) are allowed to stay on the island.

4. Without public transportation, everyone can only sign up for a one-day tour, or two days 1 night, and Universal Taobao can make a reservation. The price is lower than that of official website, and all the products from Taobao are similar, Starfish.

This company is good.

5. For one-day or multi-day tours, the merchants are responsible for picking up and dropping off from Phuket. For example, from Badong, you have to take a 90-minute bus to Tabram.

Pier pier, and then take a 90-minute boat to the sea area of Similan; If you want to save time, you can consider living in the koala area near the pier.

6. You are not allowed to wear shoes on the island. Climbing the mountain will prick your feet. It is recommended to bring your own beach or snorkeling socks, which are sold in Taobao or Haitang (200/pair).

Three ways of playing Smilan 1 Take a day trip.

Many people ask me if Similan Island is worth visiting. It's really hard to answer. It's really beautiful, but a day trip is really urgent. Don't expect fewer people. Therefore, children's shoes with seasickness, the elderly and children are not recommended, and the body may not be able to stand it. After all, it takes 6-7 hours to return to land+speedboat; There will be about three snorkeling.

2.2 days, 1 night (there are tents, wooden houses or boats in Sudao); Snorkeling, staring blankly, tanning, watching handsome guys and beautiful women.

Are you struggling to live in a tent, a log cabin or a boat? (Reminder: You should book your accommodation in advance, and you can't make a temporary decision after going to the island. )

1. Boarding: Suitable for children's shoes with good physique. Be careful of seasickness, the boat is slightly rocking anyway. The advantages are: hot water and electricity for bathing; Some friends have been there and recommend Sail.

2. Island accommodation: tents, fans and wooden houses have no hot water; Tents need to bring their own flashlights and charging treasures, and need to use showers and toilets, but it does not affect that there are not many people staying overnight and there is no need to queue up; The wooden house has a separate bathroom and bathroom, and there is electricity from 6 pm to 6 am; Of course, the conditions cannot be compared with hotels; One-day tourists have left, almost becoming an uninhabited island, which is definitely the best time to take pictures; You can also see many hermit crabs at night, but you can't catch them;

This time I chose a tent, two sets of pillows+sleeping mats+sleeping bags, but more atmospheric; Although the conditions are simple, the tent is spacious, with doors on one side and "windows" on three sides, all of which are double-layer gauze. It's very breathable, and it's a little cold to sleep at night. You can lock it when you go out, so don't worry about things being stolen. The tent area is about 100 meters away from the sea surface. When you lie down, the sound of waves is very clear. The bathroom is about 50 meters, with lights at night; We don't put a lot of candy, so we can hardly see ants, and mosquito repellent is useless, but we still recommend taking it;

3. Life on board.

Deep diving, deep diving, deep diving and deep diving are the dreams of every diver; If you are lucky, you can dance with whale sharks, and the fish will surround you like a waterfall, which will surprise you. Reminder: Diving in Smilan Island requires a diving certificate, preferably AOW. Only OW can take the AOW test in Similan, because the general scenic spots are at a depth of 25 meters).
