Cinnamon Bay

Cinnamon Bay lies off Bangu Island within the Similan Islands chain, part of Mu Ko Similan National Park in Phang Nga province off the west coast of Southern Thailand. The Similans are reached by boat from piers on the mainland, typically Thap Lamu, with dive sites scattered around the granite islands of the archipelago. This one is a wall dive rated advanced, with medium current, and divers should be mindful of both current and depth as hazards. Divers have reported angelfish, parrotfish, and manta rays passing along the wall here.
