Dive-site story
Located off the northwest corner of Koh Pabu in the Similan Islands, West of Eden combines granite boulder formations with sloping coral gardens. Giant sea fans cling to sheer rock faces alongside shelves of table corals, while deep sand channels provide natural lanes for cruising pelagics. Swimmers frequently encounter swift currents that sweep plankton across the outer drop-offs, making it a hotspot for both macro life and hunting predators.
Massive granite swim-throughs draped in colorful soft corals and giant sea fans
Rubble zones sheltered beneath overhangs where frogfish and ribbon eels hide
Steep granite walls tapering off into sandy slopes visited by stingrays and sharks
