What to expect underwater

Just south of Chalok Bay, Buddha Point is a shallow reef perfect for an easy dive in calm conditions.

The site takes its name from the rock formation towering above the bay, which looks like a sitting Buddha watching over the water.

Below the surface you’ll find butterflyfish, rabbitfish, and parrotfish along the coral patches, with stingrays and moray eels tucked into the sand and rocks.
