StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

North Point sits a bit out from the north side of Koh Bangu, a granite boulder site that mirrors some of the conditions you find around Christmas Point. We’re talking big rocks, big currents sometimes, but usually excellent visibility, often 20 to 40 metres. You’ll drop down to around 22 metres, winding through channels and swim-throughs formed by these massive boulders that reach up to 8 metres from the surface. It's a spot for intermediate divers, where you can watch for schooling fusiliers or keep an eye on the bottom for leopard sharks resting in the sand. Just be ready for that current.
