The Similan Islands are closed for the 2025 monsoon season from 15 May to 15 October. Weather disruptions began as early as April, impacting diving conditions and liveaboard schedules. Despite rougher seas, underwater productivity remained high and coral bleaching was avoided, with continued signs of reef recovery across the region.
A whale shark entangled near Thailand’s Surin Islands has sparked a large-scale rescue effort. Tour boats including Deep Andaman Queen are helping marine teams locate the animal, highlighting the region’s conservation challenges.
Thailand’s coral reefs are recovering strongly after recent bleaching events, with officials reporting over 60% showing signs of revival. This is fantastic news for Similan liveaboard trips and Similan diving enthusiasts, as healthier reefs promise even more vibrant underwater experiences for the upcoming seasons.
