This group of boulders which emerge from the water is known as Hin Pusa or "Elephant Head", so named because of the shape of the rocks above the surface. The site is home to some spectacular marine life including anglerfish and schools of oriental sweetlips. Leopard sharks are here too.
The nearby Shark Fin Reef and Deep Six are better spots for big fish, but Elephant Head Rock offers the chance to see black tip, white tip and leopard sharks combined with an incredible cave backdrop. There are arches and swim-throughs to play with as blue-ringed angelfish, triggerfish and bicolor parrotfish circle. Descend to full capacity and you’ll be rewarded with snappers and yellow goatfish.
