Richelieu Rock

Locals call it "Plo Nam" Rumor has it: discovered by Jaque Cousteu. The best dive site in Thailand, but the viz is not excellent (Especially at large plankton blooms) (generally around 10m). Sealife is exceptional, large fish shoals Barracuda, Snapper, Trevally, also invertebrates... Richelieu Rock has everything- Micro and macro. Porcelain crabs, Tiger Tail Sea Horses, Pipefish, Nudis, Harlequin Shrimp.... very little predator sharks You can expect to see whale sharks (from february to may) Whaleshark and Mantas both frequent the area. Best times are beginning and end of dive season when plankton blooms are highest. The rock is located southeast of Surin Islands. 20 nm W of Kuraburi, Phang Nga
