Koh Rang Pinnacle

Koh Rang Pinnacle หินกระเดื่อง is a Dive site that is located in Koh Rang south of Koh Chang. Koh Rang is the national marine park, from bang Bao pier it will take around 1 hour 10 minutes Boat Ride to get there. A lot of time to relax. The Koh Rang Pinnacle หินกระเดื่อง is just west of Koh Rang.
It is a slightly deeper dive site. Divers will go down to a depth of 25-30 meters. The entire Pinnacle is under the sea and it has one buoy line attached to the Pinnacle which leads down to around 14 meters. As already mentioned it is a deeper dive site so you will need to be an advanced diver to appreciate this site. As you start the dive you can slowly descend the side of the Pinnacle where you will see many whip corals and an array of many other beautiful corals.
Continue your dive at Koh Rang Pinnacle หินกระเดื่อง
Then you can spend your time slowly diving around the Pinnacle levelling up as the dive continues. Once you hit around 12 meters there is a swim through. But to go all the way through you have to be quite a small person to squeeze through or you can just turn back out. If it’s not for you. During your dive on the Pinnacles, you will have a chance of seeing a lot of larger fish. Such as giant travellers, sailfish as well as some very big triggerfish so keep an eye out. Here you also have a very good chance of seeing some eagle rays,!
The pinnacle is a great dive with a lot to offer for advanced divers. But we can only dive this site when the conditions are favourable. Koh Rang Pinnacle หินกระเดื่อง does not have the protection of Koh Rang Island.
From the pinnacles, it is also possible to dive over to another dive site called Koh Tian. This is a shallower dive site just away from the pinnacles. So if you would like to enjoy one of Koh Chang’s deeper dive sites then come to dive the Pinnacles with us.

Our Divemaster’s

Our Divemasters will give you a boat briefing and an overview for the day at the time the boat starts. They will give you a Dive briefing before each dive, and be in the front to lead the group while diving. Ask you frequently for Air consumption and knock against the Tank to get your attention. If there is any problem they will assist you, to secure your and others safety. If you and your buddy would like to explore the dive-site yourself the Divemasters will give you a briefing on the boat and check the predive safety procedure before your buddy team enter the water.
