There can be a current here, but it's rare, and certainly you shouldn't plan a dive here as a drift dive. There are no leopard sharks here, but you might also find black tip sharks, and black tip reef sharks. There are no sailfish or swordfish, but there are normally batfish (although they are on top of the pinnacle normally), and large shoals of barracuda and giant barracuda can be seen at Barracuda rock. Master Divers visits this site from Koh Tao (note the spelling!) in their regular dive boat (taking 45 minutes) and in their ultra-fast RIB (taking 7 minutes). Best time to dive is at dawn or sunset, when sharks are most active, and it's sometimes possible to see black tip sharks breaching the surface, spinning as they do so with prey in their mouths. It's the most likely site to spot the rare and endangered Whale Shark normally between October and May. Definitely a World Class dive site! www.masterdivers.co.uk
