Dive Spot Guide•
Shark Point
Three-pinnacle drift reef off Phuket
Boat access only; expect current, coral-covered pinnacles, and better fit for experienced divers than casual snorkellers.
About Shark Point
Shark Point is Phuket's signature pinnacle reef, known for three coral-covered pinnacles, sandy saddles, and regular encounters with leopard sharks and bamboo or nurse sharks. The first pinnacle breaks the surface, while the others step down into a drift-friendly reef profile that suits experienced divers. Currents can run moderate to strong and the surface can be choppy, so this is better as a boat dive than a casual snorkel. It also produces eagle rays, barracuda, and good macro life.
