DIVE 1: Hin Daeng

Hin Daeng or "Red Rock" is so named because of the carpets of red anemone that cover the shallower depths of this huge pinnacle. Hin Daeng boasts one of the deepest drop-offs in Thailand, nearly 70 metres to the sea bed.

Famous for its pelagic life, schooling Rainbow Runner, Barracudas and Grey Reef Sharks often are seen cruising the blue. In the shallower waters Fusiliers, Rabbitfish and Wrasse rule the waters. Leopard Sharks are regulars, swimming or quietly resting on the numerous ledges. Many invertebrates can be found including Boxer Shrimp and Porcelain Crabs guarding their anemone homes.

DIVE 2: Hin Muang

Hin Muang or "Purple Rock" has been rated one of the best dive sites in Thailand and that of the world. Named after the forests of purple soft corals this amazing pinnacle begins at 12 metres below the surface. Fulfilling all that Hin Daeng has to offer, Manta Rays and ever impressive Whale Sharks are often seen. It is common in the months of May till July to swim with these gentle giants, with many Cobias following close by.

Deep drop-off walls surround this "loaf of bread" shaped reef. This is a photographers dream with many opportunities for both wide-angle and macro, as many Nudibranches, Tube Worms, Pipefish and Seahorses can be found by those with a keen eye.
