Consisting of 5 islands, the Surin Archipelago lies approximately 55 km from the coast of Thailand, about 5 km to the marine border with Myanmar. Underwater treasures around the Surin Islands will delight any snorkeler, and of course for the more adventurous, scuba diving. For now we are content with snorkel and mask, exploring the reefs which in most places have grown up to just one meter below the surface. On each day's venture into the sea we are treated to a myriad of smaller species darting in and out of the corals. The miracles in this underwater world of magic unfold before your eyes.
