SAMRAN PINNACLES
This submerged set of three rocky pinnacles is located just off Sail Rock between Koh Tao & Koh Phangan and can only be dived at certain times of the year, generally between May and September.
The formation rises from the ocean floor at 30 meters up to a minimum depth of 13 meters. The rocks are covered in soft corals, sponges and a wealth of colourful anemones. Just off the rocks hanging in the mild to strong currents you will find large groupers, great barracuda and shoals of big eye jacks. |
CHUMPORN PINNACLES
Located North West of Koh Tao, this group of completely submerged pinnacles is probably one of the best dives in the Gulf Of Thailand and is not to be missed. The giant rock pinnacles rise up from 35 meters to 14 meters and are covered in a carpet of pink anemones. The main attraction for many divers is the massive groupers that can be seen on most dives hanging in the current just off the pinnacles. Here you will also have an excellent opportunity to see the illusive Whale Shark, which often cruises by followed by, great barracuda, jacks, tuna and shoals of Bat fish.

SOUTH WEST PINNACLES
These three rock pinnacles are located about 30 minutes of the South West Coast of Koh Tao. The impressive rock formations rise from a depth of 28 meters up to within 10 meters of the surface. Here you will find a vast array of soft coral bushes, sea whips and barrel sponges and the walls and ledges are covered in brightly coloured anemones. The fish life is varied and prolific at this site, and includes red snapper, honeycomb grouper, banded angelfish, great barracuda, with leopard sharks frequently sighted resting on the sandy gorges between the pinnacles.
