Three Trees
Three Trees is located northeast of the 9th island in the Similan Islands, identifiable by three large trees marking the entry point. The dive begins at a shallow depth of approximately 5 meters and descends to a reef slope reaching about 18 meters. Beyond this slope, divers will encounter a sandy area characterized by isolated roots. The site features rocky areas offshore adorned with schools of soft corals, providing habitat for larger fish species. The tidal conditions at this site allow for clear water and the possibility of drift diving during strong currents. Marine life includes schools of fusiliers, spadefish, and barracudas, as well as sandy-dwelling creatures like chinangoes, jawfish, and symbiotic gobies. Divers may also observe turtles, butterfly fish, and spoonbills in the shallow coral reef. In areas with favorable tides, sightings of larger species such as manta rays are possible.
