About this dive site

This dive site presents a striking lone pinnacle located off the East coast of Koh Nang Yuan. Rising dramatically from the seabed, it resembles a prominent landmark visible just below the surface. The rock face is adorned with Wart Slugs, and visitors often encounter Jenkins Rays or Banded Sea Snakes resting within the expansive crack at the bottom of the pinnacle. Regular sightings include sea turtles near Red Rock. Nearby, an intriguing swim-through—essentially a small cavern—exists directly opposite the pinnacle along the coastline. This passage features narrow sections that loop back on itself, offering interesting exploration opportunities. Light penetration is good, and the chambers boast beautiful views with silhouettes of glass fish dancing in the sunbeams. For those seeking further adventure, there's an option to dive from this location into Japanese Gardens; a drop-off can be arranged for a one-way dive experience.
