North Rock/ Lom Fang is a rocky offshore pinnacle off Koh Rin, with coral-covered outcrops, a calmer lee side, and a more exposed edge that can carry noticeable flow. It works best as a guided boat dive where you circle the formation, keep the rock close for orientation, and pause for reef fish and small critters in the structure.

Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Currents can be unpredictable and may change significantly around the pinnacle; plan the route and maintain awareness of flow and position.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only; plan it as a Pattaya far-island day with no shore entry at the site.
Legal Notes
Koh Rin is listed among the Chonburi islands in the Admiralty district, so treat it as a managed offshore island area and follow operator guidance.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Easy to navigate by circling the pinnacle, but be prepared for variable current strength around the rock.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive site; the offshore setting and shifting current make it better for guided scuba unless conditions are unusually calm.
Snorkeling
Not a casual snorkel stop; the site is better suited to scuba because the current and boat logistics can change quickly.
