Laem Thian Pinnacle

Laem Thian Pinnacle is where we head when we're in the mood for a proper hunt, focusing on the small stuff that often gets overlooked. It’s a series of granite boulders, a bit like a mini-Chumphon, but with its own distinct charm. We love kicking around the shallower sections, 10 to 15 metres, where the light really brings out the colours on the corals. You’ll find some cracking patches of staghorn, and if you get down low, you might spot a Blue-spotted Stingray tucked into the sand. The blennies here are fantastic. We’ve spent whole dives just watching Pale-spotted Combtooth Blennies darting in and out of their little holes, or spotting a High Hat Triplefin doing its twitchy dance. Keep an eye out for Black-blotched Wrasse and Banded Maori Wrasse patrolling the rocks, and Golden-girdled Coralfish hovering in the cracks. It's a great spot for macro enthusiasts, or anyone who enjoys taking their time to really observe. We've even seen Blacktip Reef Sharks cruise past on occasion, usually early in the morning before the crowds arrive. Dive here for the intricate details and the satisfaction of finding something new on every visit.
