This unique dive-site is a huge lime-stone
pinnacle that soars
30 meters up from the ocean floor to sit 4 meters beneath
the surface where it abruptly ends and drops back to a sandy
bottom.
The barely submerged reef is a well-known shipping hazard
(see King Cruiser Wreck) and is located less than a mile
north of Shark Point. The Thai name for this site is Hin
Jom which means underwater rock and although not as colorful
as Shark Point, the site is famous for its vast fields of
sea anemones that cling to every conceivable surface and
swing and sway with the current.
The profusion of sea anemones and the nutrient-rich
water are a magnet to a constant parade of reef fish seeking
food and shelter. Enormous schools of tropicals, snappers,
groupers and colorful clown fish, along with larger game-fish
like tuna and barracuda as well as the occasional leopard
shark can be seen here.
