 This
unique dive-site is a huge lime-stone pinnacle that soars 30 meters
up from the ocean floor to sit 4 meters beneath the surface where
it abruptly ends and drops back to a sandy bottom.
The barely submerged reef is a well-known shipping hazard (see King
Cruiser Wreck) and is located less than a mile north of Shark Point.
The Thai name for this site is Hin Jom which means underwater rock
and although not as colorful as Shark Point, the site is famous
for its vast fields of sea anemones that cling to every conceivable
surface and swing and sway with the current.
The profusion of sea anemones and the nutrient-rich water are a
magnet to a constant parade of reef fish seeking food and shelter.
Enormous schools of tropicals, snappers, groupers and colorful clown
fish, along with larger game-fish like tuna and barracuda as well
as the occasional leopard shark can be seen here.
