StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

Christmas Point sits on the northern tip of Koh Bangu, offering a network of swim-throughs and granite boulders. We often find leopard sharks resting on the sand patches here, along with schools of snapper and fusiliers. The currents can pick up, so it's a spot best enjoyed by divers comfortable with some drift.
