Dive-site story
Located southwest of Koh Tao, this offshore granite formation features a series of submerged rock pinnacles stepping down into the surrounding Gulf of Thailand. The shallower peaks are blanketed in dense carpets of sea anemones inhabited by pink anemonefish. Divers often circle the main pinnacle before navigating across the sand channels to explore the outlying satellite rocks, where schools of pelagic hunters congregate in the blue.
Vast fields of sea anemones covering the apex of the central pinnacle
Dense schools of chevron barracuda and bigeye trevally circling in open water
Submerged outlying pinnacles harboring large grouper and hunting pelagics
Frequent seasonal sightings of visiting whale sharks
