About Sam Laem
Sam Laem is one of Chumphon's deeper and more remote dive sites, featuring a pinnacle system that drops to 30m. The three rocky points create channels where current funnels through, attracting large pelagic fish. Not frequently visited, which means the marine life is undisturbed and encounters are more dramatic.
