Pottery & Three Rocks
Pottery and Three Rocks are two neighbouring shallow sites a few minutes by boat from Mae Haad pier, off Jansom Bay on Koh Tao's west coast. Pottery is a group of small rocky pinnacles and scattered blocks on sand that reach almost to the surface, while Three Rocks is a short swim away: three granite rocks a few metres apart, the largest with a swim-through arch. Depths are roughly 6–14 m, with sand at around 8–10 m around the rocks. The pair is popular for training, relaxed fun dives and night dives.
