Hideaway Bay (Similan Island 5)

Overview

Coral reef, rock formations, and sandy bottom. Hideaway Bay is a dive site that combines shallow coral reefs with granite formations in deeper areas. The shallow area features hard coral reefs and sandy areas, suitable for divers of all levels. At deeper depths, you'll find large granite formations with crevices and holes, providing hiding places for many marine animals. The currents are generally not very strong, making it a comfortable diving spot. However, the currents may be stronger in the deeper rock formations depending on the sea conditions.
