Acerca de Monuments/Zodiak
Monuments/Zodiak is a shallow sandy boat dive in Hideaway Bay, Similan Islands, built around underwater Thai zodiac statues, tsunami memorials, and a small artificial-reef zone. It is widely used for easy daytime or night dives, with the site's main appeal coming from macro hunting, unusual photo subjects, and relaxed conditions rather than dramatic topography.

Nota de profundidad
Independent descriptions place the memorials in very shallow water within about 10 m, with an artificial reef around 20 m; one operator lists a broader bay depth to 40 m, but the common Monuments/Zodiak route is treated here as a shallow dive.
Mejor temporada
The normal dive season runs through the Similan open season, broadly from mid-October to mid-May, with the most settled conditions usually in the November to April window.

Key Hazards

Safety Notes
The site is beginner-friendly, but it is commonly visited by liveaboards and works best with normal boat-pickup awareness and clean buoyancy over statues and artificial structures. Night dives need standard torch discipline and close guide navigation through the sandy memorial area.
Access Restrictions
Access depends on Similan Islands National Park operating dates and boat permissions. Trips are normally run by licensed day boats or liveaboards rather than independent shore access.
Legal Notes
The Similan Islands National Park closes seasonally each year, with the 2025-2026 public notice stating closure from May 16, 2025 to October 14, 2025 and reopening on October 15, 2025.
