Point (Hin Musang in Thai) is a marine sanctuary that derives its
name from the Leopard Sharks that are encountered resting on the
sandy bottom. The reef comprises three pinnacles, the largest breaking
the surface and appearing as a barren rock outcropping.
Beneath the surface its a different story as this amazingly multicolored
reef offers the diver vast schools of tropicals, colorful soft corals
and vibrant sea fans that decorate the limestone pinnacles. Currents
can be brisk at this site but they tend to run parallel to the reef
sections and allow for an excellent drift dive back to the dive
boat.
To protect Shark Points fragile ecosystem the Thai government declared
this site a marine sanctuary in 1992 and as such have preserved
it for one and all. All forms of commercial fishing, marine life
collection or other forms of harmful activity (spear-fishing) are
prohibited.
