About Samran Pinnacle
Samran Pinnacle sits in the shadow of its famous neighbor Chumphon Pinnacle but offers equally impressive diving with far fewer boats. The pinnacle rises from 28m to 9m below the surface, covered in hard and soft corals. Large schools of barracuda and batfish are common, and the lack of traffic means marine life is noticeably less skittish.
Tips
