SHARK POINT SCUBA DIVING

3 Dives at 4200 THB All Inclusive


The Shark Point Diving site lies 29 km from Chalong Bay, Phuket. It became part of a Marine Sanctuary in 1992; the sheer profusion of marine life is justification enough for protection. The exclusion area extends as a radius of 2.5km around the western limits of shark point and all commercial fishing, collection or marine organism or any other harmful activity is prohibited by law.

The official Thai name ‘Hin Musang’ translates ‘Shark Rock’, named after the local leopard sharks that sometimes visit the location and can be seen resting on the sandy seafloor. The sharks are not the only attraction here though; Shark Point is one of the richest and most vivid dive spot around, with its stunning soft corals, fan corals, and anemones.

Shark Point Pinnacle

Shark Point Dive Map 1

This large dive site has three main sections or pinnacles. Starting from the relatively steep main pinnacle 1, the reef flattens out to the south rising two more times to just below the surface at the other two pinnacles that make up the reefs structure. Depending on the currents, the second pinnacle can also be an excellent place to start the dive.

The main attraction here, in addition to sharks and vast schools of tropical fish are the colorful soft corals and sea fans that decorate the huge limestone pinnacles. The currents sweeping over the pinnacles provide enough food for the hundreds of different species of hard corals and limitless tropical fish species. Most divers could spend several dives exploring the many interesting facets of the site, which is arguably the most popular of all the local day-diving sites. Diving with Nitrox for longer bottom time is advisable.

MARINE LIFE :

As the site name suggests, Shark Point is the place to go for divers eager to spot Leopard shark. However sharks are not the only highlight of the site. Seahorse and ornate ghost pipefish provide divers with a pleasant surprise among the sea fans and coral.

Some species of marine life that inhabit the area are scorpionfish, lionfish, pufferfish, blue-ringed angelfish. On the rock and between corals, look for colorful nudibranchs, dancing shrimps and boxfish. Above the reef, there are also schools of barracuda and yellowline snappers.
