Richelieu Rock

Details:

Located an hour east of the Surin Island National Park lies Richelieu Rock, one of Thailand’s best known Dive spots. This Reef is a “U” shaped pinnacle that starts at 40 meters and extends to the surface. Frequent visits by passing Whale Sharks and Manta Rays have made this site a world famous dive destination. Large schools of Great Barracuda, tuna, Jacks and Bat-fish are native inhabitants of the pinnacle. The site consists of a variety from brilliantly colored soft-corals and anemones in the shallows to frog fish and harlequin shrimp along the steep walls. Around the base of the site divers often spot large groupers, Titan Triggerfish, lion fish and reef sharks.
