| The Andaman Sea is without
doubt the best diving in Thailand. We offer
a number of first class dive sites….Many large
ocean travellers, like Whale Sharks, Manta
Rays and Pilot Whales are frequent visitors
to this area….
We listed a few of the most common dive
sites around phuket:
ANEMONE REEF 

(Dive site Rating)
This unique and colorful divesite is a
huge limestone pinnacle that soars 30 meters
up from the seafloor to just 4 meters underneath
the surface then abruptly ends and drops
back to a sandy bottom .
This barely submerged reef is a well known
shipping hazard and is located less than
a mile north of Shark Point . The Thai name
for this site is Hin Jom (underwater rock
) . Although not as colourful as Shark Point
this site is famous for its vast fields
of sea anemones that cling to every conceivable
surface swinging and swaying with the current
.
The profusion of sea anemones and the nutrient-rich
water are a magnet to a constant parade
of reef fish seeking food and shelter .
Here you will find enormous Gorgonian sea
fans , lots of colorful hard & softcorals
and a resident Hawksbill Turtle can be seen
feeding or resting in the crevices of the
rocks . For the macro enthusiast , nudibranches
, sea slugs , Frogfish , Ghostpipefish and
juvenile Morays are there for your trained
eyes to discover . Enormous schools of tropical
fish , Snappers , Groupers and colorful
Clownfish , along with larger game-fish
like Tuna and Barracuda , and the occasional
Leopard Shark can often be seen passing
by.
SHARK POINT 
 
Shark Point is part of a Marine Sanctuary
due to it's tremendous variety of marine
life . The official Thai name for this site
is Hin Musang or 'Shark Rock' . Approaching
from the sea Shark Point appears as a tiny
rock outcropping of no particular interest
but beneath the surface lies a vast multicolored
reef teeming with marine life . The dive
site is named after the docile Leopard Sharks
that are often encountered resting on the
sandy sections here . Divers that are not
used to seeing sharks are generally surprised
at how big and approachable they are . Because
they are nocturnal feeders they are very
approachable during the day . Shark Point
is one of the richest and most vivid dive
spots around the Phuket area .
Shark Point's most colourful feature is
the profusion of purple and pink soft corals
that cling to the rocks . The currents sweeping
over the pinnacles provide plenty of food
for the hundreds of different species of
hard corals and limitless tropical fish
species , Clownfish , Morays , Angelfish
, Snapper , Spotfin Lionfish , Groupers
and also Barracuda . For the divers with
keen eyes for small things , Tigertail Seahorses
, Ghostpipefish , Porcelain Crabs and the
rarely seen Harlequin Shrimps are hidden
among the soft and hard corals!
To protect the fragile ecosystem and preserve
the tremendous variety of marine life that
occupies the reef this popular dive site
was declared a marine sanctuary in 1992
by the Thai government and all forms of
commercial fishing , collecting of marine
life or other forms of harmful activity
are prohibited. Official mooring buoys have
been installed and no anchors should be
dropped here .
