North Point (also known as Rocky Point) is located northeast of Island 9 in the Similan Islands. It consists of a set of massive granite rocks wrapped in corals, and the corals between them. Around the rocks there are "deserts" of sand, and between themselves some of the rocks formed swim-throughs that became reliable shelters to some sea creatures. No tangible currents were detected in this area, and also due to the quite shallow depth of the site, this site can be recommended for novice divers.
