Named little Sail Rock by the locals
This rocky formation is just at the end of Haad Khom in Koh Phangan. It is also nicknamed Little Sail Rock by local divers. As a local dive site easily accessible it has a lot of surprises lurking under the big boulders and in the cracks. Being at the end of the bay there is often current as the tides moves in and out for this reason there is a lot of sea fans.
At this site be wary of the passing longtail boat that makes the shuttle to Haad Khuat. Pay attention to your dive master and instructor.
