Category: - underwater

Location:Similan Islands Thailand
Dive Site:Koh Bon Pinnacle
  
Description:Although usually wary of divers, during mating season Titan triggerfish are known to agressively guard their nests. The triggerfish will face the intruder, the dorsal spine will rise and the fish may roll onto its side for better vision. Titan triggerfish are well known to be agressive around Koh Tao, not so much around the Similan Islands. When faced with an agressive triggerfish it is best to swim away from the nest on your back and put your fin up if the fish attacks. They can inflict serious injury.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Ric and Clive: Best experience and service

"I got advice from these guys and everything was SPOT ON!!!! Its hard to find so much knowledge about dive sites in Thailand and SPECIALLY about Burma (Myanmar). Had a great live aboard trip to the Mergui Archipelago in Burma through these guys. With Thailand Dive and Sail you dont get any unpleasant surprises and I got exactly what they promised. Amazing diving and great guides and staff. I definitely dived with a smile ;-) Will be back again for sure :-) Thanks for a great planed trip guys :-) "
