One of the best dive site in thailand.
Richelieu Rock is undoubtedly Thailand's finest dive. Which is saying a lot for a country with hundreds of excellent sites. Millions of shimmering glassfish surround the stunning purple and red soft coral-covered seamount and hide the bountiful macro paradise. Harlequin shrimps, frogfish, ghost pipefish, and tiger-tail seahorses live on the rock, while in the blue swirling masses of jacks, barracude, and fusiliers fight for your attention. Don't lose your focus, though: there's a better than good chance of a whale shark swimming in to pay you a visit.
