    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Ko Yung Pinnacle is a solid dive, tucked away from some of the busier Similan sites. We usually find schools of jacks circling the main rock, and the reef itself has a good covering of hard corals. It’s a good spot for a relaxed second dive of the day, with mild currents typically making it easy for newer divers. Keep an eye out for whitetip reef sharks resting on the sandy bottom.
