About this site

Shark Point lies off the Andaman coast of Thailand, in the waters near Phuket. It reaches a maximum depth of around 16 metres over a reef bottom, with medium current and generally good visibility, and is rated a beginner dive. Leopard sharks, pufferfish, and reef sharks are common here, and divers have also reported angelfish, barracuda, batfish, clownfish, sea turtles, seahorses, ghost pipefish, and even whale sharks passing through, among other reef residents. Currents can run stronger around the full moon and new moon, which is worth keeping in mind when planning a dive here.
