Dive Hin Daeng & Hin Muang, Thailand

Add to My List Check Off

Hin Daeng and Hin Muang (Red rock and Purple rock) near Ko Lanta, Thialand are perhaps the best dive sites in Thailand with more than 200 hard corals and over 100 reef fish, steep walls, big fish and lush soft coral gardens. The sites are 40 nautical miles South of the Phi Phi Islands. Hin Daeng has the steepest and deepest in the whole of the country with beautiful marine life. Hin Daeng is a huge dive site with depths down to well below normal recreational limits - South West side drops to over 60m. The East side has the best soft coral growth and two ridges that slope gently into deeper water. Hin Muang next door is completely underwater and it is covered with delicate violet coral. Hin Muang is a long rocky ridge just a few hundred metres from Hin Daeng with it's top at a depth of 8-9m and it's bottom at 60-70m. It is actually connected to Hin Daeng, but the depth prohibits a dive between the two. The sites also have one of the world's highest incidences of manta ray sightings, with fairly frequent whale sharks. There are normally many whale shark sightings in April and during February/March if you're lucky.
