This dive site, North Rock/Lom Fang, is characterized by a massive underwater pinnacle that breaks the surface. Navigation is straightforward, as divers can easily circle the rock; however, currents are highly unpredictable, often shifting from calm to strong on different sides of the pinnacle.
The site is teeming with marine life, offering sightings of barracuda, large schools of batfish, and occasionally even whale sharks. A closer inspection of the pinnacle reveals a rich micro-habitat, home to numerous smaller critters, making it interesting for macro enthusiasts.
While the best time to encounter whale sharks is not specified, their occasional presence highlights the site's potential for incredible big animal encounters. Divers should always be prepared for variable currents and adjust their dive plan accordingly, enjoying both the sweeping views of the pinnacle and the detailed life within its nooks.
