StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

South Point, out in the Mergui Archipelago, is where we often start the day if we’re feeling ambitious. It's a nice, gentle descent to a 22-meter ledge. From there, it's all about finning out into the big blue, eyes peeled. We've heard whispers, and sometimes seen the evidence, of a thresher or a hammerhead cruising deeper, though a sighting closer to the ledge is a real treat. It’s a good spot for beginners to get a feel for a deeper drift, without any serious current worries.
