Rock Point is a scenic diving destination located off the coast of Koh Phangan in Thailand’s Gulf of Thailand. This site features dramatic rocky outcroppings and underwater boulder formations that create an interesting topography for exploration. Divers typically descend to depths ranging from 12 to 25 meters, making it suitable for intermediate to advanced divers.

The site offers excellent opportunities to observe diverse marine life including reef fish, groupers, snappers, and occasionally larger pelagic species. The rocky structures provide ideal habitats for colorful corals and sea fans. Visibility is generally good, varying seasonally from 10 to 20 meters depending on conditions.

Rock Point’s moderate difficulty level and varied underwater landscape make it an appealing choice for divers seeking something beyond standard reef dives. The site is accessible year-round, though the best conditions typically occur during the dry season. Its proximity to Koh Phangan makes it a convenient choice for both day trips and dive packages exploring Thailand’s popular diving region.
