Samran Pinnacles

Dive Location:  About 19km north of Koh Phangan.
Depth: Average 18m / Maximum 28m

Pelagic enthusiasts will find this site terrific, as you encounter school after school of great barracuda, threadfin trevally, big-eyed jacks, Spanish mackerel and dog-faced tuna. There are three main pinnacles – the top of the tallest is 12m below the surface – plus a mountainous terrain of scattered rocks large enough to swim around and explore. The larger of these rocks are obscured by healthy masses of soft corals, featuring shimmering whites, reds, oranges and yellows. Marine life around the pinnacles consists mainly of honeycomb groupers, juvenile morays and schooling bannerfish. Large red and white snappers and fusiliers wander in the deeper waters.
