    StandoutDramatic pinnacle topography

    Chumpon Pinnacle stands as Koh Tao's premier deep dive. We've often found ourselves descending into the blue here, hoping for a glimpse of a whale shark cruising by. The granite pinnacles are draped in anemones, creating homes for schools of fusiliers and the occasional bearhead flyingfish. Expect currents; this site is best for experienced divers comfortable with deeper profiles.
