About ten kilometres southwest of Ko Tao is a phenomenal dive site names Southwest Pinnacle or Hin Tung Gu. It consists out of three larger pinnacles which are often dived one after another while drifting on the current and hiding behind the steep coral heads. The largest starts at 28 meter and goes all the way up to 5 meter, which makes it a bit smaller than it's northern neighbour Chumphon Pinnacle. Several other smaller pinnacles create an excellent underwater mountain range, some small walls and canyons. Most of the pinnacles are topped and well decorated in soft corals and widely coloured anemones.

Chances of spotting pelagic such as tuna, barracuda and jacks are huge here. As the pinnacles, often referred to as South West Rocks, are the only shallow references in the area, this place is one of the easiest feeding grounds crowded with smaller reef fish. Whale sharks have been reported feeding on the plankton, zebra sharks and many schools of snappers, harlequin sweetlips and wrasses hide inside crevices and holes. One of the difficulties of diving here with no solid ground nearby is its ever-changing currents and visibilities. Use the mooring line on the way down that brings you to the base of one of the pinnacles. You are absolutely guaranteed to have a thrilling dive.
