About Similan Islands — East of Eden

A beautifully sloping reef on the eastern side of Similan Island 7, East of Eden features vibrant coral gardens of staghorn, table, and brain corals in pristine condition. Leopard sharks are regularly spotted resting on the sandy bottom at depth, while the shallows teem with anemonefish, moray eels, and ornate ghost pipefish. The gentle topography and moderate currents make it suitable for divers of all experience levels.
