Dive-site story
Rising abruptly out of the western Gulf of Thailand off the coast of Chumphon, this limestone islet is famous for dramatic underwater topography and frequent pelagic encounters. Submerged walls and dramatic swim-throughs are blanketed in yellow anemones and dense patches of black coral, with dense baitfish schools drawing apex predators from open water.
Frequent seasonal sightings of whale sharks cruising around the limestone walls
Expansive underwater gardens of yellow soft corals and sea anemones covering limestone pinnacles
Vast schools of yellowtail barracuda, trevally, and fusiliers aggregating off the reef edge
