About South Point
South Point is a remote deep-water site at the southern tip of Boulder Island, with a steep drop, coral shelves, and a lot of open Andaman Sea exposure. It is usually run as a guided boat dive from Boulder Bay Eco Resort, and the draw is the chance to see stingrays, white-tip reef sharks, and other reef life around a clear offshore wall. The site is more serious than a casual swim stop, so current planning and certification matter.
