Phuket is Thailand's most visited destination. The area is famous for its jagged coastline, beautiful sandy bays and lush tropical vegetation and environment.
Phuket is the undisputed centre for snorkelling, diving and scuba diving. The island is virtually encircled by superb diving sites, one of which is Shark Point.
Shark Point is part of a Marine Sanctuary set up by the Thai Government. The place is named after the docile Leopard Sharks that are often encountered resting on the sandy seafloor here.
The official Thai name for this site is Hin Musang or 'Shark Rock' is arguably the most popular of all the local day-diving sites.
