Anemone Reef (or Hin Jom – Submerged Rock) is about 600m away from Shark Point. As the name suggests, this pinnacle dive site is completely covered in Anemones that gently sway in the current. Their bright colours and resident fish make them beautiful photography subjects to practice different photographic techniques. Challenge yourself to get that perfect ‘Nemo’ shot!

This is the reef which was hit by the King Cruiser Wreck and you can still see the large crevice that was caused by the collision.

Anemone Reef is not as instantly pleasing as Shark Point as it lacks the breathtaking array of colour. However, if you’re a Macro-lover, you could get seriously into this dive site. The shimmering schools of Glassfish that coat the reef during certain times of the season can hide all kinds of tiny Crustaceans, many types of Nudibranches, Pipefish and enormous, glistening Tiger Cowries.

If you catch this group of dive sites on a good visibility day, you will find them among the best in the world. If the visability is less than perfect you will still be astounded by the sheer volume of life and action that takes place here.

Leopard Sharks can be found on all the dive sites around Ko Phi Phi and Anemone Reef is no exception. Adults can often been seen lazing on the sandy bottoms or cruising round the reef. Here, they seem to be quite curious of divers and can come fairly close if you don’t spook them, almost as if they want to get their picture on film!
