Deep Six is one of the deeper dive sites just of the northern side of Koh Payu, Similan island number six. It is diving at an underwater ridge famous for its likely sightings of larger predators. Its best diving is considered to be at the northern part near a large rock that marks the dive site. There, together with many smaller rocks, are also some of the best swimmthroughs in the area.

Sightings of the Tsunamis immense power can still be witnessed at several places along the ridge. Blue fin trevally, mantas, rainbow runners and sweetlips are some of the fish that live here. In the deeper sections you can spot blue-spotted stingrays, white tip reef sharks and an occasional leopard shark. Purple and green soft corals, fields of whip corals and wart finger corals are some examples of its excellent coral growth.
