About this site

Shark Fin Rock is a drift dive site near Pattaya, named for the rock formations that break the surface and resemble a shark's dorsal fin. Depths run from 12 to 35 metres, visibility is 10 to 25 metres, and the site is rated advanced.

The gentle currents make it an excellent location for drift diving. The deeper sections feature hard corals and pelagic fish, and trevallies, lionfish and the occasional blacktip reef shark are seen here.
