Mosquito Island Reef is a clear-water Phi Phi pinnacle reef.
An uninhabited islet with diving centered around a multi-headed pinnacle and varied underwater relief. The reef is usually clear-water and compact, with both soft and hard corals plus strong fish life. The site is known for schools of sweetlips and barracuda, with blacktip reef sharks and moray eels often part of the draw. It is currently closed for coral restoration, so treat it as a reference site rather than an active booking stop.
