 Koh
Ha Yai, Koh Rok, Hin Daeng and Hin Muang are the principal diving
areas furthest south in Thailand literally due west/southwest from
Koh Lanta. Hin Daeng and Hin Muang are the more popular sites and
rate as certainly two of the best dive sites in Thailand.
Hin
Daeng
Hin Daeng is 3m clear of the surface with the southern side dropping
to 60m plus. This is the steepest & deepest drop in Thailand's
waters. The rock itself is quite barren but offers the opportunity
to see large pelagics and fantastic underwater gardens on the shallower
shelving eastern side where two ridges descend to 40m plus. Barracuda
are a common sighting as well as Fusiliers.
Hin
Muang
Hin Muang is only a few hundred meters from Hin Daeng and is completely
submerged. The rock, shaped like Ayres Rock (central Australia)
is 20m wide and 200m long. It is covered with purple soft corals
and anemones, hence it's name (Muang is purple in Thai). Many sea
fans of varying colors decorate the steep sides and it has a remarkable
amount of life on it compared to its neighbor.
Whalesharks, Sharks and Mantas are regularly seen around the two
pinnacles enjoying the freedom that the depth of water here offers
them.
