About Rock Point / Kong Yai
Rock Point (also known as Kong Yai] is one of the few deeper dive options around Koh Phangan. The rocky formation drops to 20m and attracts schooling barracuda, snappers, and big groupers. Current can be moderate, making it more suitable for experienced divers than the island's typical shallow snorkeling spots.
Tips
Best conditions in the morning. Current can pick up in the afternoon.
Experience Required
Intermediate. Current experience helpful.
