Blueberry Hill

A coral-capped pinnacle top only about 3 m below the surface

Blueberry Hill is a submerged pinnacle north of Hin Rap Tai, south of Koh Chang, with a coral-covered top that comes within about 3 m of the surface. Its shallow profile makes it an easy dive over coral, and it lies close to the small Secret Reef pinnacle.
