Hin Daeng & Hin Muang

Hin Daeng is a large underwater reef surging up from the depths, and just breaking the surface - only a very small rock hovers above the water. On its northern side the reef drops in a relatively gentle slope. Yet the southern side has a steep drop-off down to more than 50 meters.

Hin Daeng's average depth is 25 meters, reaching 50 meters at the max. Look out into the blue for Manta Rays, but watch your depth on these sites!

Hin Muang translates to "Purple Rock". The reason for this name is the many wonderful soft corals - pink and purple in color - that completely cover the shallower sections of this reef. Hin Muang is located just a few hundred meters from Hin Daeng and rises from a depth of more than 70 meters. The top is about 6 meters below the surface. This site boasts the deepest drop-off in Thai waters and is home to the best spotting sites for Manta Rays in Thailand.

These sites are only reachable during high season (November to April) due to weather conditions.
