Why dive here
With 177+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, giant moray eels, whale sharks, clownfish and pufferfish - Sail Rock, Ko Batong offers some of Koh Lanta & Phi Phi's richest pinnacle diving.
Sail Rock, Ko Batong, is a solid choice when diving out of Koh Lanta or Phi Phi. It’s a distinct pinnacle, dropping to a comfortable 20 metres, making it quite approachable for newer divers looking to get their bearings. The site tends to attract a good variety of reef fish – we've often seen schools of fusiliers here, sometimes so thick they create a shimmering wall. Keep an eye out for moray eels tucked into the crevices; they're usually quite visible. It’s a pleasant, straightforward dive, good for a relaxed afternoon exploring the rock formations.
