CharacterPinnacle dive

StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

Ko Bon Pinnacle is an exposed, submerged reef system often swept by substantial currents. We head here for the chance to spot manta rays, especially from April to May, as they cruise past the cleaning stations. Even without mantas, the reef usually holds schools of fusiliers, trevally, and leopard sharks resting on the sandy bottom. It's a dive best suited for advanced divers comfortable with drift diving and changeable conditions.
