Dive-site story
Rising from the seabed between Koh Tao and Koh Phangan, this exposed granite pinnacle forms an isolated offshore haven in the Gulf of Thailand. Dense schools of chevron barracuda and bigeye trevally circle the main rock formation, while a renowned vertical swim-through known as The Chimney allows divers to enter at depth and ascend through the core of the stone.
The Chimney vertical swim-through cut directly into the granite monolith
Massive swirling schools of chevron barracuda, batfish, and jacks orbiting the rock face
Frequent seasonal sightings of visiting pelagics including whale sharks
