    Why Sail Rock is unmissable

    A 90-minute boat ride into open water rewards you with the richest marine life in the Gulf - and the single best chance in Thailand to swim with a whale shark.

    Whale shark chance

    The Gulf's top spot to encounter the gentle giants - Sail Rock draws them in.

    The Chimney

    A thrilling vertical swim-through cutting down through the pinnacle - a signature dive.

    Walls of fish

    Barracuda tornadoes, trevally, batfish and huge schools swirling around the rock.

    3 dives in a day

    Two dives at Sail Rock plus a stop at Shark Island - a complete day on the water.
