Welcome to the underwater world of the Surin Islands (Mu Koh Surin National Park) in Thailand! Many people say that the Surin Islands has the best snorkeling in Thailand. There are four reasons for this: great visibility, colorful coral, colorful fish, and the fact that when you snorkel, a lot of the time you are at eye level with the fish, and not just looking down 20-30 feet. I identified as many fish as I could, but special thanks to the Waikiki Aquarium (https://www.waikikiaquarium.org) in Honolulu, Hawaii and the Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego (https://aquarium.ucsd.edu/) for identifying many of the fish. You're going to see Parrotfish, Surgeonfish, Starfish, Rabbitfish, Moorish Idol, Clownfish, Butterflyfish, Pufferfish, Sergeant Major, Tang, Wrasse, Damselfish, and Triggerfish. I've done a lot of snorkeling in my time, but what was exciting to me is that there were several species of fish that I had never seen before! If your monitor or smartphone supports 4K, please change your video settings to 4K for the best viewing experience-you won't be disappointed!
