About North Rock
North Rock is a remote limestone rock in the Mergui Archipelago with wall, slope, and reef sections that suit liveaboard diving rather than casual day-tripping. Experienced divers should plan for strong current windows, variable visibility, and occasional surge, with the sheltered side sometimes making the difference between a workable dive and a skip. The payoff is coral outcrops, sea fans, sharks, rays, and plenty of macro life.
