About This Dive Spot

Christmas Point is situated at the western corner of Island 9 in the Similan Islands. The site is characterized by unique rock formations shaped by tidal currents, which create various channels and swim-throughs. Divers should exercise caution in deeper areas where currents can be strong. In the deeper waters, whitetip and blacktip sharks are frequently observed, along with guitarfish that can exceed 3 meters in length during cooler water temperatures. Manta rays may also be spotted. The area around the thornbeam roots, known for their cluster growth resembling Christmas tree worms, is home to diverse marine life including butterflyfish, angelfish, and hawksbill turtles. In shallower regions, schools of fusiliers, such as bluefin trevally, can be seen.
