Sail Rock is undoubtedly the most famous dive site in the
Koh Samui archipelago. This rock pinnacle, shaped like an
iceberg, emerges from a sandy bottom at 40m to tower 15m
above the oceans surface.
Located 45 kilometres 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 18m down and exits at 6m where the natural light penetrating
the top makes it fantastically picturesque.
At 18m, two divers can enter the cavern abreast where it
bends vertically upwards. At 12m you'll spot a hole that
opens up and it is possible to swim back into open water
from here. At the exit, just 6m from the surface, you'll
find yourself surrounded by a magnificent carpet of pink
anemones full of vibrant anemone fish.
