Offshore Phuket pinnacle with anemones, moorings, and rich fish life.
Offshore Phuket pinnacle with anemones, moorings, and rich fish life.
Anemone Reef is a boat-only offshore pinnacle east of Phuket with a shallow top, dense anemone cover, and enough vertical relief to reward careful buoyancy and current-aware planning. It is one of the area's signature dives for confident divers who want color, macro life, and the chance of bigger pelagics when conditions line up.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Keep buoyancy tight around the anemone-covered top, follow the mooring line on descent, and plan for current changes through the dive.
Access Restrictions
Boat only from Phuket; not a shore-entry site.
Legal Notes
Treat the site as a controlled boat dive and follow local operator guidance; the reef is a known shipping hazard.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A pinnacle dive spanning 4–28 m.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive site; the offshore current and deeper working profile make scuba the standard choice.
Snorkeling
Not a normal snorkel target because it is offshore and current-sensitive; keep it as a scuba-first boat dive.
