About North Pinapple Point/Hon Thom Bac
North Pineapple Point is a shallow Hon Thom reef with rocky bottom, coral growth, and a strong macro-fish focus. The site leans toward calm, sheltered diving, with whip coral, cuttlefish, and small reef life making it a good fit for easy guided dives and relaxed underwater photography. It is the gentler side of the Pineapple Point pair, so it works best when you want coral detail rather than a deep, current-driven challenge.
