Forget Similan tourist boat chaos. Shark Point offers leopard sharks, seahorses, best macro photography in Thai waters. Three pinnacles 12km offshore at 12-25m depth, consistently good visibility.

Sea Fun Divers charges 3200-3590 thb for two-tank trips including lunch. Leopard sharks guaranteed at middle pinnacle, ghost pipefish hiding in soft corals. Current can pick up - intermediate level minimum. Typical boat time 50-70 minutes from Chalong.

Best months November-April when visibility hits 25-30m. Hard coral recovery here impressive compared to more trafficked sites.
