East of Eden

Dive Location:  South-eastern fringing reef of island #7.
Depth: Average 22m / Maximum 34m

This is a steep sloping hard coral reef consisting of mostly hard-coral laminates. Unusually for an east-facing reef, there are soft corals in the shallower waters at about 12m. Also on view are schools of snappers and fusiliers, and occasionally turtles and leopard sharks.

There is a stunning bommie (coral head) in the middle of the reef, starting in around 9m and going down to 30m; it features one of the finest concentrations of corals in the Similans and should not be missed.
