Three Trees is a scenic dive site located at Bangu Island in Thailand’s renowned Similan Islands. Situated in the Andaman Sea, this site features three distinctive rock formations that rise from the seabed, creating a visually striking underwater landscape with dramatic boulder formations and sandy patches.

The dive site is suitable for intermediate to advanced divers, with depths typically ranging from 12 to 35 meters. The rocky terrain provides excellent opportunities for exploring crevices and overhangs where marine life congregates.

Divers can expect to encounter vibrant coral growth adorning the rock formations, alongside diverse marine species including groupers, snappers, fusiliers, and trevally. The site is also known for seasonal visits from larger pelagic species. Macro enthusiasts will find numerous nudibranchs, shrimp, and crabs among the rocks.

Strong currents are common at Three Trees, requiring good buoyancy control and experience. The site offers excellent visibility during optimal conditions, typically between November and April.
