Shark Point

★★★★☆ (11,111)

Shark Point is one of Phuket’s most popular dive sites. The three pinnacles of the Shark Point break the surface in a small area. The rest is submerged and covered in soft and hard corals. This is a great drift dive. You can frequently spot leopard sharks and bamboo sharks here, hence the name.

Might see schools of barracudas and yellow snappers. Check for macro life on all pinnacles for nudibranchs, crabs, and shrimp!
