Aqualung is a pinnacle and reef site in Ang Thong Marine Park, Thailand, offering depths between 5 and 40 metres. The site is suited for intermediate divers who can manage moderate currents that frequently affect the structure. Visibility varies from 5 to 20 metres, and water temperatures remain warm, ranging from 28C to 31C. Divers can explore the varied topography of the pinnacle, which supports a range of reef fish and invertebrates. Shore entry is available, though current conditions should be assessed before descent. Due to the presence of sharks and the potential for strong currents, maintain controlled movement and stay close to the reef structure throughout the 50-minute dive.

Check the current direction before you enter, as the pinnacle can accelerate flow on certain sides depending on the tide. Positioning yourself on the sheltered face early in the dive gives you more bottom time before committing to the deeper sections.
Accessible by speedboat from Koh Samui, with a travel time of 50 minutes from the pier in Bangrak.
