Overview

Shark Point was named for the frequent sightings of leopard sharks (Stegostoma fasciatum) in the past. It is very rare to see the sharks these days due to overfishing. Known as Hin Mu Sang by locals, this dive site lies nearby the Anemone Reef and King Cruiser Wreck, and is made up of three pinnacles that lie in an almost north-to-south formation, with the axis slightly tilted to the east. They are located around 1,5 hour boat cruise from Chalong Bay, but only 20 min by speedboat from our dive centre!

Shark Point has the most diversity of fish and corals among the 3 dive sites in the area. Each pinnacle has areas covered with striking purple and pink soft corals, sea fans ranging from 50 cm to as big as a person, as well as beds of table coral, staghorn coral and coral head. Pinnacle No.1 is the only one visible from the surface and has a small lighthouse on top.

The dive usually starts from one pinnacle and finishes at the next pinnacle, with the direction dependant on the current. Some species of marine life that inhabit the area are blue spotted stingrays, scorpionfish, lionfish, pufferfish, blue-ringed angelfish, snappers, groupers and a few types of eels.

This is fairly easy dive site as the depth ranges from shallow waters of 5-10m to 20-24m.

FAQs

How do I get to your location? Is transfer included in the price?

Roundtrip transfer is not included in the price.

  • Elixir resort – 400 THB (5 mins. drive)
  • Loh Pared Beach Area (Santhiya Resort, Royal Yao Yai, Blue Bay resort, Yao Yai Resort) – 700 THB (15 mins. drive)

We recommend renting a motorbike to come to our office (250 THB/day). There is very little traffic on Koh Yao Yai and motorbike is also great way to explore the island.

Do I need an Open Water Diver (OWD) certification?

Yes, OWD certificate is required for all our diving trips with the exception of our SCUBA diving courses.

Why is 2 tanks dive with Elixir Divers more expensive than with companies from other islands?

Koh Yao Yai is an emerging diving destination, perfectly positioned near stunning sites like Shark Point and Anemone Reef. While the island is still developing and hasn’t attracted large tourist crowds, this is what makes it a hidden gem for divers seeking a quieter experience. We pride ourselves on offering personalized, detail-oriented service, ensuring that every dive is memorable. Our brand-new, custom-made diving speedboat is designed for comfort, accommodating up to 16 divers, but we prefer small groups of 4-12 to enhance your experience. Unlike larger operators that rely on slower boats with up to 30 divers, we focus on quality and intimacy. We equip our divers with top-quality Apeks regulators, and our equipment is meticulously maintained by our dedicated team, ensuring safety and performance. While our pricing may be slightly higher—averaging 1,000 THB (25€) for two dives—it reflects the exceptional value and experience we provide. Just check our reviews to see what our clients say. It's important to note that while prices in Thailand haven’t changed significantly in over a decade, the costs of maintaining high standards have risen. Many operators cut corners by competing solely on price, often sacrificing quality or personal attention to divers. We believe in investing in our services to provide an unparalleled diving experience. Join us at Koh Yao Yai for an unforgettable dive adventure!
