Scuba Cat is an ideal scuba diving platform. The designed in stability of a very large catamaran boat operating amongst the protected waters of the Similans makes this the most "friendly" boat to be found-seasickness is rare. From 10,500 Baht
Elephant Head
Elephant Head (Hin Pousar in Thai)- This is probably the most famous dive site in the Similan Islands,located between Island 7 (Koh Payu) and Island 8 (Koh Similan).
With three large rocks breaking the surface these granite boulders run down to over 50 meters. This is dramatic dive. Not too much coral growth but the way the boulders are piled on top of each other has left an intricate web of tunnels and swim- throughs. Large overhangs with oriental sweetlips and harlequin sweetlips which are only found in the Andaman Sea hang around in small groups to escape the currents. Coming in and out of the tunnels keep an eye open for the colorful clown triggerfish and the white tip reef sharks resting on the bottom. Currents can be quite strong sometimes but this makes for an exciting and fun dive.
Compared with most "dive centers" in Thailand (a lot of them is just a website - a "Virtual Dive Company") - Scuba Cat owns their own fleet of diving boats and have been in operation since 1994. If you do a Course or a Dive Career Package with us, all your dives will be from one of our own dive boats, not "we got to do a beach dive, 'cause it is not enough students" or from a "last minute rented long tail boat, 'cause all the other boats are full".
