Shark Point Phuket

Shark Point Phuket is one of the best sites for diving in Phuket. The largest of the three main rocky pinnacles that form Shark Point, breaks the surface protruding by a couple of meters. Below the surface divers are welcomed by a vast array of health & multicoulored soft corals, as well as an abundance of hard corals.

Scuba diving conditions at Shark Point can change from hour to hour which make them difficult to predict in advance. Often though they are excellent, making Shark Point an amazing dive site. Most dive groups will stick to the largest of the three pinnacles, circumnavigating the pinnacle several times if currents allow, gradually ascedning until it’s time for the safety stop at 5 meters. In recent years whale shark sightings at shark point have been increasing, although to see one of these huge gentle gentle giants, divers still need a lot of luck to be in the right place at the right time.
