Pro Tips

Insider Knowledge for Richelieu Rock

1

The best site in the Gulf of Thailand for whale shark encounters (February–May). The pinnacle structure creates strong currents that attract whale sharks, manta rays, and seahorses on the same dive. Go with a Khao Lak liveaboard operator for the best chance at whale sharks.
