Richelieu Rock
Richelieu Rock (called ''Hin Plo Naam'' in Thai) is a dive site in Thailand in the Andaman Sea about 200 km northwest of Phuket. It is part of the Mu Koh Surin marine park although being about 18 km east of Surin Island.
The horseshoe-shaped reef discovered by Jacques-Yves Cousteau〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Thailand Scuba Diving )〕 is known for its purple corals as well as diverse marine life ranging from small fish and harlequin shrimp to large pelagics like whale shark, manta ray, barracuda, and grouper.
==Discovery and name==
Richelieu Rock was discovered as a recreational scuba dive site by diving pioneer, Jacques-Yves Cousteau, with the help of local fishermen.〔 The origin of the name is disputed. Some say it was named by Cousteau after the red colour of Cardinal Richelieu's robe due to the red to purple colours of the soft corals on the reef.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=World's Top Dive Sites: Richelieu Rock )〕 Others claim it was named after General Richelieu, a commander in the Royal Thai Navy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wicked Diving - Similan Islands, Komodo and more...: Richelieu Rock - the history )〕
