Shark Fin Reef (Similan Island 3)

Overview

Large granite reef and coral reef. Shark Fin Reef is a large underwater rock formation consisting of several long ridges. The rocks protruding from the seabed resemble shark fins, hence the name Shark Fin Reef. The reef area contains both hard and soft corals, and sea whips. In deeper areas, you will find rock structures with cliffs, crevices, and various cavities, which are home to a large number of marine animals. Another highlight is the sighting of large schools of fish, especially in areas with currents, where schools of fish tend to congregate.
