Chumphon Pinnacle is the most impressive dive site around Koh Tao and the second only to Sail Rock as the best site in the Gulf of Thailand.
Ranging from the depth of 14m to 45m, a site is a group of few massive granite pinnacles running north to south. The top of the main huge pinnacle is carpeted in Magnificent anemones, full of Pink Anemonefish. Other smaller pinnacles surround the main pinnacle. The rocks form various plateaus and ledges covered in hard and soft coral, sea whips, gorgonian sea fans and barrel sponges. Crabs, shrimps, White-eyed moray eels hide in the numeral crevices.
- It’s a shark, not a whale — whale sharks are fish and breath through their gills.
- They are named Whale Shark because of their size, and the fact they are filter feeders, like whales. However, they have cartilage, instead of bone making them a true shark.
- Whale shark’s display a distinctive pattern of white spots, on a dark gray background with a white underbelly. The pattern is unique to each individual.
