Samran Pinnacle
Samran Pinnacle is a large, rarely visited pinnacle hidden between Koh Tao and Sail Rock. It starts at roughly 9 m and drops to about 28 m, with more rock continuing deeper along the bottom. Schools of barracuda, fusiliers and trevally gather around it, and a whale shark encounter is possible. Because of its depth, exposure to strong currents and quickly changing conditions it is for advanced divers only.
