West of Eden is generally visited in the high season, when East of Eden gets too crowded. The side is on the on the wast side of Similan Island 7 (Koh Pa-Yu), opposite the East of Eden site. The landscape consists mostly of large rocks covered with soft corals and sea fans. In terms of marine life, this is a good macro site, where you should look for nudibranchs and frogfish, as well as various pipefish.
Currents here can be strong, which is why the site is rarely visited in the off season. The current can shift, so be sure to check with your captain or operator to determine which end to enter from.
