| A Few Assorted Soft & Hard Corals |
| Whalesharks, Batfish, Jacks, Anemone Fish |
| Mild to Moderate Currents |
| 10 to 30 Meters Visibility |
| Advanced Divers |
|
 Chumphon Pinnacle is located 11km to the north west of Koh Tao and is considered by many, as the best dive site in the region. Made up from one huge granite pinnacle and a series of smaller ones, Chumphon's main difference to Sail Rock is that the pinnacle starts 14m underwater and drops off to over 36m.
Chumphon, like Sail Rock, is covered with sea anemones and pink anemone fish. You'll find shoals of barracuda and schools of Jacks and Bat Fish.
The best places to dive from are either Crystal Dive Koh Tao who do trips there at least every other day or with Lotus Diving on Koh Phangan who combine it into its dive tours of the region twice a week.

Some of the most impressive groupers in the Gulf can be found at this site as well as seasonal visits from large pelagic's such as Whale Sharks and Mantas.

Koh Tao General Info - Gulf of Thailand
 |
Koh Tao is more than 21km square and is located approximately 70km east off the coastline between the Thai provinces of Surat Thani and Chumpon. Koh Tao means Turtle Island in Thai because in the past the waters surrounding it were rich in hawksbill and green sea turtles.
Initially the island was used as a political prison but in 1947 the incumbent Prime Minister pleaded and received a Royal Pardon for all prisoners on the island. Once the prisoners left, a number of fishermen 'pioneers' from the neighbouring island of Koh Phangan, directly south of Koh Tao, sailed across and staked claim to a large portion of land on what today is called Sairee Beach.
During the past 10 years the reputation of Turtle Island's natural beauty, especially its marine and coral life, turned the island into the new South East Asian Mecca for those learning to dive.
Today, island infrastructure is improving fast and with links via high-speed catamarans serving the Samui-Tao and Chumpon-Tao routes. The sea journey is fast and pleasant
There are an increasing number of higher end resorts springing up around the island, over 30 dive schools and numerous action and adventure options such as wake boarding, kayaking and jungle trekking, to participate in. |
