Dive-site story
Situated off the northern tip of Koh Bangu (Island Nine), North Point features an expanse of massive granite boulders that tumble down into deep sand channels. The submerged rock architecture creates swim-throughs, overhangs, and deep crevices lined with sea fans and soft corals. Due to its exposed position, pelagic visitors regularly cruise by the outer edges while reef life aggregates in the sheltered pockets between the monoliths.
Monumental granite boulder formations with deep canyons and swim-throughs
Frequent encounters with schooling chevron barracuda and hunting giant trevally
Resting leopard sharks and whitetip reef sharks along the sandy fringes
