About Chumphon Pinnacle
Chumphon Pinnacle is Koh Tao's offshore granite pinnacle, a blue-water site shaped by satellite rocks, schooling fish and current-driven action. It suits divers who want a committed boat trip, current-aware planning and a dive that can change character quickly with weather and sea state. The payoff is a high-energy profile that rewards calm gas management and a guide who can work the changing conditions.
