Spotting a yellow masked angelfish at the Similan Islands is a rare and exciting experience for divers. This deep-reef beauty usually appears below 30 meters, so it’s not an everyday sighting. With its bright yellow face and electric blue body, it stands out stunningly against the coral walls.
You’ll most likely find it gliding alone or in pairs at dive sites like Elephant Head Rock or Christmas Point. These deeper spots offer the best chance, especially with the Similan Islands’ crystal-clear water and thriving reefs.
Because they’re shy and live deep, the yellow masked angelfish is usually seen only by experienced divers. A slow, quiet approach works best to avoid scaring it away. Seeing one feels like discovering a secret hidden in the reef.
For many divers, encountering this rare fish is a highlight of their trip. It’s a beautiful reminder of why we explore the underwater world.
