    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Samran Pinnacle in the Gulf of Thailand is a decent enough pinnacle dive, though it won't redefine your dive career. The site often hosts schools of barracuda and fusiliers, which can be quite dense on a good day. It's an honest dive for those looking to get wet and see some fish, suitable for intermediate divers comfortable with potential currents. We find it a solid choice when you've done the more popular sites and fancy a change of scenery.
