What makes it special

Gongam, famously known as Elephant Rock for its trunk-like sea arch above water, offers a phenomenal underwater playground. Submerged arches and volcanic basalt caverns create breathtaking underwater architecture.

Sunlight pierces through the arch openings, casting radiant blue light shafts that illuminate the columnar basalt formations. Gliding through these massive natural doorways surrounded by curious reef fish is an unforgettable experience.

Dive guide

• Use gentle frog kicks to avoid kicking up sediment inside the arch passages.
• Be aware of surge when entering and exiting enclosed arch sections.
• Excellent location for framing silhouette photographs against the illuminated arch openings.
