Ko Bon Pinnacle is a superb diving site of the Surin Islands. It consists of a Pinnacle with the top of the rock at 18 m. It is located not far from the other famous spot of Koh Bon, on the Northwest side of the Ko Bon island . It is simply one of the best places in Thailand and in Southeast Asia to spot Manta Rays! It is also possible sometimes to spot a Whale Shark! It is quite common to spot Black tip reef sharks and Eagle rays cruising by. However, with a maximum depth of 39 meters and with it being located in the open Sea, this dive is better suited to Padi Open water advanced or CMAS 2 stars divers. Don’t forget your underwater camera on this amazing dive site! It is possible to dive this site on a day trip from Khao Lak or during a liveaboard cruise.

Ko Bon Pinnacle is classified as a Deep dive. This location is a Reef. This is great place for spotting and diving with Sharks! Ready to swim around this Wall structure?

Best time to dive: the ideal period to plan holidays here isOctober to November. Access: from the Shore. See the map of Ko Bon Pinnacle on the right for the exact location.
