Diving Thailand Chumphon Pinnacle

Dive Tour - Chumphon Pinnacle

chumphon_pinnacle_1Chumphon Pinnacle is located 11km to the north west of Koh Tao and is considered by many as the best dive site in the region. Made up from one huge granite pinnacle and a series of smaller ones, Chumphon's main difference to Sail Rock is that the pinnacle starts 14m underwater and drops off to over 36m.

Chumphon, like Sail Rock, is covered with sea anemones and pink anemone fish. You'll find shoals of barracuda, schools of Jacks and Bat Fish.
