About this site

Banana Rock lies in the waters off Phuket, on Thailand's Andaman Sea coast. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 80 metres, though the reef itself is dived as a beginner site with light current and good visibility over a reef bottom. Fusiliers, lionfish, manta rays, octopus, scorpionfish, snapper, and triggerfish are all found here, and divers have also reported damselfish on the reef.
