Sail Rock
Sail Rock is undoubtedly the most famous SCUBA dive site in the Koh Samui Archipelago, and is also extremely well known throughout the Gulf of Thailand. This Rock pinnacle, shaped like an iceberg, emerges from a sandy bottom at 40 metes to tower 15 meters above the oceans surface.

Located 45 kilometers north of Koh Samui, it is mid way between Koh Phangan and Koh Tao and provides large schools of pelagic's, steep walls, rugged rock formations and an awesome 'vertical chimney' swim through. The swim through, located on the northwest side starts from 18 meters down and exits at 6 meters where the natural light penetrating at the top makes it fantastically picturesque.

At 18 meters 2 divers can enter the cavern abreast where it bends vertically upwards. At 12 meters you will spot a hole that opens up and it is possible to swim back into open water from here. At the exit, just 6 meters from the surface, you will find yourself surrounded by a magnificent carpet of pink anemones full of vibrantly beautiful anemone fish.
