Rocky point or North point
These submerged boulders, also known as North Point, are located on the northeast side of Similan Island No. 9. You will enter this dive site on its deeper part, where is a huge boulder at 30 meters, covered in sea fans and soft coral. Usually, you will go down by a bouyline on this dive site and at 12 – 14 meter you will reach a channel.

Marine life
Many of the smaller creatures can be found in Rocky Point, such as nudibranchs purple and red fire gobies. Schools of surgeonfish can be often seen here. Leather back turtles are seen quite often in the shallower part of the Rocky Point.
If you look into the crevices you will find gosh pipe fish. As the dive shallows up you’ll see patches of hard coral. This is a great place to find turtles.
Current
Moderate to strong. When the current is strong it usually pushes you down to the deepest part of the dive site. When this happens, you just have to stay as close to the bottom as you can.
Visibility
20 – 25 meters
