About Chumphon Pinnacle

An excellent dive site to put it lightly, the dive consists of large pinnacles of granite, as well as various large boulders where you can find plenty of anemones and other marine life. Batfish, Barracuda and Snapper are just a few of the fish you can find here at Chumphon Pinnacle, though the real interest for most are the Whale sharks which are present here.

Dive Site Hazards

  • Situational Awareness Loss — Divers may fixate on sharks and lose depth or position awareness.

  • Subtle Behavioural Shifts — Changes in shark behaviour may be missed without active observation.

  • Blue-Water Reference Loss — Lack of visual references increases ascent and descent instability.

  • Gradual Narcosis Onset — Narcosis may develop slowly, making self-assessment unreliable.

  • Task Fixation at Depth — Cognitive narrowing at depth can reduce awareness of time and ascent rate.

  • Increased Gas Density Breathing Load — Higher gas density at depth increases work of breathing.
