About This Dive Spot

West of Eden is a topographic dive site located on the western side of Island 7 in the Similan Islands. The dive is characterized by three prominent rocks, surrounded by coral slopes on both sides. The underwater landscape features soft corals, including sea fans and sea hawks, particularly along the wall and in deeper areas adjacent to the rocky coastline. Divers can observe hard corals, such as Hanaya rhinoceros, which provide habitat for various marine life. In the deeper sections, sightings of ribbon eels, McCawkers flasher wrasse, and monohana shako are common. Additionally, macro organisms like giant red coral crabs and dwarf gobies can be found among the Hanaya rhinoceros corals.
