Anchor Point is a beginner-friendly Neil Island fringing reef.
Anchor Point is a boat-access fringing reef off Neil Island in the Andaman Islands. Divers settle in over branching and table corals while schools of reef fish move through the point, so the site rewards slow hovering and close observation more than covering distance. It is usually reached by a short operator-run boat transfer and works best as a calm beginner-friendly reef dive when seas are steady and buoyancy stays tidy.
