Koh Phangan Dive Site - CHUMPHON PINNACLE

Heading up to the north west of Koh Tao Island, you will reach this spectacular dive site. At the surface you will only see the two mooring buoys, but below starting at about 12 to 14 m in depth you will discover four big granite pinnacles covered in sea anemones and hard corals.

With a maximum depth of 40 m and its remote location Chumphon Pinnacle is a fantastic place to spot black tip reef sharks, schools of giant barracuda and giant groupers hiding between the pinnacles. When it is your lucky day, you might also happen across a whale shark – one of our planets most amazing creatures. But not only the big fish will catch your eye here – there are also big schools of bat fish around and of course moray eels, scorpion fish and many other tropical pelagic.

Chumphon Pinnacle is a perfect dive site for the more experienced diver – it is required that you are certified to an advanced diver level. If you are interested in a Deep Diver Specialty training you should of course visit this stunning place.
