About Southwest Pinnacle
Southwest Pinnacle is a boat-access pinnacle reef southwest of Koh Tao with a steep, multi-pinnacle profile. The route wraps coral-covered ridges, anemones, and swim-throughs where divers look for snapper, barracuda, trevally, groupers, and seasonal whale sharks on the right day.

Safety Notes
Pick calm Gulf conditions and keep buoyancy tight near the ridges because the site is open and the profile runs to deeper water.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only from Koh Tao; rough-weather departures can be a no-go.
Legal Notes
Use licensed Koh Tao operators and follow boat-safety briefings.
