Five Rocks

Also known as: Five Rock · Reethi Thila · Rheeti Thila

Erosion has split the pinnacle into five separate rocks with sandy channels and narrow passages between them. Pink gorgonians, tubastrea, sponges and anemones make the site very colourful, and photographers value its dramatic landscape. Honeycomb morays, mantis shrimps, frogfish and nudibranchs hide in the cracks, while sweetlips, jacks, barracuda and reef sharks pass outside. Across a channel the reef rises again, where huge numbers of red-toothed triggerfish and a large school of bannerfish are often seen. Good buoyancy is needed in the tighter passages.
