Anita’s Reef
Anita’s Reef dive site combines two Similan Islands, No. 5 & No. 6. You can start your dive on either island. Usually it will depend on which way the current is running. Starting on island No. 5, will give you a deeper boulder dive first. Starting on island No, 6, you start your dive on a slopping reef and will miss the deeper boulders.
Anita’s Reef
This dive site is also known as Barracuda Point. Maximum depth is 30 meters. Lots of coral gardens with two pinnacles. One of the pinnacles has fire bubble coral on the very top. Lots of white sea fan. A very white powdery sandy bottom. Always reminds us of Christmas, because of the very white sandy bottom. It looks a little like snow.
The tuna wreck is just around the end of island No. 5. This wreck lies at the end of the reef at around 40 meters. Great place to do a deep dive specialty. Not to many fish to be found here.
Marine life
Hin Muang Deaw is on the southwest of island No. 5. Direct translation means “whole roll of film” This is a photographer’s dream. Gigantic white sea fan. Morey eel, snake eel and trumpet fish are to be seen everywhere. Clown trigger fishes are often seen on the sandy bottom, guarding their eggs.
