Chumphon Pinnacles

Dive Location:  About 5km northwest of Nang Yuan.
Depth: Average 20m / Maximum 36m

This is Koh Tao’s most impressive site, and without doubt one of the most popular. Divers revisiting the island always ask when the earliest scheduled trip to Chumphon Pinnacles is!

The site consists of four interconnected underwater pinnacles which tower up from around 34m; the highest peaks are 16m Below the surface. This is an ideal place to spot many pelagics. Large schools of great barracuda, big-eyed jacks, tuna, mackerel, goldbody and giant trevally are all frequent visitors. Whale sharks, with accompanying striped remoras and pilot fish are sighted here with more frequency than any other site in the Gulf. Bulky grey reef sharks are seen in the depths away from the base of the rocky structure.
