Hin
Daeng - Hin Muang 2 dives
Hin
Daeng
(translated red rock) is rated as one of the top Dive Sites in Thailand.
With our Speedboat it is exactly a 1 hour ride south of Phi Phi Island.
Completely surrounded by the open sea, more than 15 km from the next
island, is a pinnacle coming up from a depth of 50 meters and just making
it through the surface. With visibility often exceeding 40 meters, this
is a divers dream Site. Big schools of Barracudas, mackerels, Snappers
and Tunas circle around the vibrant pinnacle that is covered with a
wide variety of corals, sea fans and plants from top to bottom. The
highlight of this Trip is often the sighting of a Whale Shark or Manta
or Eagle Ray, which happens here more than anywhere else in Thailand.
Bull Sharks, Grey Reef Sharks and Silver Tip Sharks and big Black Tip
Reef Sharks can also be spotted here.
Hin
Muang lies just 200 meters from Hin Daeng. This totally
submerged reef resembles a huge loaf of bread. The formation is about
200 meters long and approximately 15-18 meters wide. In the middle of
the reef there is a 25 meter wide valley and on all sides the reef drops
to more than 50 meters. The translation of Hin Muang means "purple
rock", which is a suitable description for a reef that is literally
covered with colourful anemones all over except for the valley where
you will often find Octopuses or Leopard Sharks lying around. You can
also expect to see an extraordinary array of marine life at this world
class dive site.
