Rock Point is an excellent local dive site which is under-dived mainly because it can be very unpredictable in terms of visibility and current. When conditions are favorable however, it can provide a very interesting dive. Sheltered, shallow areas of less than 10m, can be found to the South and West, whilst the North and East sides reach a depth of around 20m. These sides are more exposed to currents making them the idea location for a fantastic array of soft corals and sea fans.

Due to the varying topography, there is a surprisingly good variety of marine life ranging from typical reef species such as Angelfish and Butterflyfish to species more commonly found at deeper offshore dive sites such as Batfish and Barracuda. Being only a short, 5 minute "long-tail boat" trip from Chaloklum Pier, Rock Point is easily accessible.
