The name was certainly given by the British Admiralty during the time they occupied Burma.

MV Faah Yai is currenly the only dive operator visiting this site.

Distance from Phuket: 220 NM
Distance from Victoria Point: 100 NM

It is the most amazing dive site of the this area which we explored 2 years ago.

It consist of one half bowling-ball pinnacle, lying by 40 meter depth on a sandy bottom. Only that part of the dive will provide you shelter inside the huge rocks. During the ascent you will have to swimm close to the radically smooth wall untill you reach the only crack of the ball, 5 to 10 meters below surface.

One dive on the way back to the south of Mergui archipelago.

The highlight here is the lack of holes for the fish to hide.

It results in a kind of cohabitation or condominium for moray eels. Sometime you will find different species in the same hole. The bottom is covered by seafans. Many lionfish as "Pterois volitan". Enormous blotched stingrays. In the shallower water, we ca appreciate the world of nudibranchs and with luck and good weather conditions, be surprised with a whale shark.
