Red Rock
Red Rock is a granite pinnacle just off Koh Nang Yuan that rises from 18–20 m to within 2 m of the surface. A large horizontal crack shelters blue-spotted stingrays, Jenkins whiprays and turtles, while groupers peer out of the many crevices. Whip corals, soft corals and big table corals cover the rock. A typical dive drops down the pinnacle, passes through a long swim-through under fallen boulders (Red Rock Cave) and finishes along the Nang Yuan coast in Japanese Gardens.
