DESCRIPTION OF DIVE SITS AT SIMILAN ISLANDS

Koh – means ”island” in Thai and is pronounced like the first letter was a ”G” = Goh Similan

The under water visibility at these islands if far the best in Thailand and among the Top 10 sites in the world. The 2004 tsunami have had no damaging effect on reefs where diving takes place. The Similans is like a row of pearls with real natural beauty. The uninhabited and unspoiled tropical islands is located in the Andaman Sea on the coast of Thailand. Since 1982, more than 25 years ago, an area of 128 km² by Similan Islands was declared protected National Marine Park, watch over by the authorities. Together with Marine Research & Fisheries Protection personnel only a handful private visitors are allowed to overnight, at the quiet islands two camp sites on Koh Similan and Koh Miang. In 1998 Koh Tachai and surrounding 12 km² was added to the territories of the Marine Park. Like this the total Marine Park coverage is 140 km² with only 15 km² making up the land mass. Mu Koh Similan is technically administrated by local authorities of mainland Kurabur, - part of the Phang Nga province. The word “Similan” originates from Yawi (Malay) meaning “nine”. This number simply referees to the number of islands lying in a North – South row about 70 km from the main land. The most southern island is Koh Nueng (Island no. 1). Koh Baed (island no. 8) is also called Koh Similan and is the larges covering an area of 5 km². The tallest point of 244 meter above sea level you will find here as well.

The Principality of Monaco covers 1.6 km². The EIFFEL TOWERS 3rd level top is 276 meters

RICHELIEU ROCK was pointed out by the ”Scuba Divers” inventor Jacques-Yves Cousteau 1910-97 as the best place to discover Whale Sharks.

+++++++

Did you know? Richelieu Rock is named after the Danish Marine Officer Andreas Richelieu 1852-1932. He came to Thailand in 1875 and was appointed by King Chulalongkorn as Admiral of the Siamese fleet. Later he was appointed Minister of The Marines. To be recognized locally he was given the Thai name of Phraya Cholyudh Yothin พระยาชลยุทธโยธินทร์. He had great influence on the decisions made by Thailand in troubled period of the colonial powers of Britain and France to avoiding annexation. He was in the board committee of the East Asiatic Company from its foundation in 1897.
