CHUMPON PINNACLE

This is one of the best dive sites in Thailand. Chumphon Pinnacle can be challenging, with occasionally strong currents. Ranging from depths of 12m to 36m, the site is a large granite rock pinnacle arranged in a rough oval and running from North to South. Visibility is amazing in the season, and the site plays host to a wide variety of pelagics as well as reef fish. Great Barracuda, Jacks, Trevally,  King Mackerel, Giant Groupers, Tuna, Pink Anemone Fish, Sea Anemones,  an impressive school of Bat Fish all year round. In the season whale shark and grey reef shark sightings are common. As the site is a fair distance offshore, visitors from the open ocean are unpredictable and sailfish, oceanic whitetip sharks and bull sharks have also been spotted.

SOUTHWEST PINNACLE

Southwest Pinnacle, a series of rock formations ranging from 4m to 30m, is another of Koh Samui's top dive sites. The tops of the pinnacles are covered with a carpet of anemones in brilliant greens, pinks and blues, with their cavalcade of pink anemone fish. Leopard Sharks and Whale Sharks are occasional visitors to the site, which is home as well to large schools of Snapper, Yellowtail Barracuda and Fusiliers. Giant Grouper can be seen here, along with Scribbled Filefish, Blue  Ringed Angelfish, Bannerfish and masked Porcupinefish. The observant diver may spot Scorpionfish and Stonefish camouflaged on the rocks. Smaller pinnacles and crevices spring from the main rock structure creating some stunning underwater vistas. 

SAIL ROCK

Situated 45km North of Koh Samui, Sail Rock is acknowledged as a 5 star dive site in the Gulf of Thailand. It has everything to offer! It is a single granite rock pinnacle rising from the sea floor at 30m to stand an impressive 15m above the surface. It offers the diver stunning underwater topography in which to explore sheer vertical walls, beautiful coral gardens, a unique vertical swim-through called “The Chimney” and an extraordinarily abundant variety of marine life in all shapes and sizes. A complete circuit of the whole rock at a relaxed pace will take about 45  minutes depending on dive site conditions. 

Looking out to sea away from the rock you will see the larger  fish and pelagics including Chevron Barracuda, Jacks, Big Eyed  Trevally and schools of Batfish. Whale Sharks are also often spotted at this site!  There is a huge range of marine creatures including tiny Cleaner Shrimps, impressive White-Eyed Moray Eels, beautiful Cowrie shells, Blue-Ringed Angelfish, Bannerfish, Parrotfish, Wrasse, Sweetlips, Yellowtailed Barracuda as well as a couple of feisty Titan Triggerfish which nest on the lower sand ledges and come up to munch on the coral. 

Sail Rock unquestionably deserves its 5 star status. Do not miss it. Visibility is usually very good and occasionally over 40m. Obviously a Dive Tour here includes two dives! Using our speed boat to Sail Rock is particularly beneficial as we beat the crowds to the site and frequently get it to ourselves

SHARK ISLAND

Possibly Koh Tao's most varied site, Shark Island is a small uninhabited island just to the southeast of Koh Tao. Sloping gently from the surface down to 24m, there is always something new to see here including some of the Gulf of Thailand's most stunning soft coral. White-Eyed Moral Eels, Bluespotted Fantail Rays, Porcupine and Pufferfish, and an enormous variety of reef fish is guaranteed in the beautiful shallow coral garden, while the fortunate may also see Whale Sharks, Leopard Sharks, Reef Sharks and other pelagics on the deeper side. Titan Triggerfish add an element of excitement to each dive, and divers often spot Turtles and Sea Snakes.

GREEN ROCK

Fascinating rock formations create small caves and swimthroughs at Green Rock. It ranges in depth from 4m to 28m. Brightly colored Nudibranchs are omnipresent, as are Morays, Harlequin Sweetlips and Blueringed Angelfish. Whitetip Reef Sharks can be seen from time to time, and at the deeper end of the site large Grouper and schools of Yellowtail, Fusilier and Silverfish can be seen. Look for "the minefield", where scores of Yellowmargin and Titan Triggerfish have made their nests in sandy pits.

WHITE ROCK

One of Koh Tao's most popular dive sites with a depth range of 6 to 22 meters and situated a little South of Koh Nangyuan. The site comprises of one large granite pinnacle and a smaller rock formation lying in deeper water, a short distance away to the West. Home to Blue Spotted Rays and Moray Eels as well as the ever inquisitive Red Breasted Wrasse, Hexagon Grouper. You can also enjoy Sea Snakes, Turtles, Butterflyfish or Angelfish. Look closely in the coral for Porcupine Fish and Hermitcrabs, and see if you can spot a camouflaged Scorpionfish.

TWINS

As the name suggests this site comprises of a pair of large rocks which lie just off the West side of the picturesque island of Koh Nangyuan. One rock lies nearer to the island at around 8 meters and the other further out at around 16 meters. Between the two rocks you’ll come across a lovely  family of resident Clown Fish ( yes you’ve found Nemo!).  Look out for White  Eyed  Moray Eels, Blue Spotted  Rays, Bannerfish, Butterflyfish, Red Breasted Wrasse and the resident Turtle.

HIN WONG

On the East side of Koh Tao lies Hin Wong. It is a large and very varied site ranging from depths of 10m to 32m. Although visibility here is unpredictable, Hin Wong is covered in lacy sea fans and curly wire coral. You will see Filefish, Snapper, Coral Grouper and other reef fish. For the macro-minded: Hin Wong also has some beautiful invertebrates. Look especially for brightly colored nudibranchs.

KOH YIPPON

Anyone who  watched "The Beach"  with Leonardo Di Caprio will feel right at home as this is the portrayed group of islands featured in this movie. Remember all the swimthroughs, caves and tunnels? Well, they are all here! At Koh Yippon Lek you can even follow an underwater tunnel straight through the island. It is situated in the Angthong National Marine Park and is the spawning ground for many fish species. You can at times find yourself totally surrounded by Jacks, Fusiliers and Juvenile Barracuda. The depth ranges from 5 to 20 m.
