Hin Daeng

Dive Hin Daeng and you'll experience the thrill of diving Thailand's highest vertical wall. Look out into the blue to catch sight of Manta Rays performing their loop-the-loops and gracefully gliding all around you.

Hin Daeng is a huge underwater rock protruding three metres above the surface. The southern side of Hin Daeng descends to over 60m and on the eastern side where the slope is gentler, two long ridges descend out into the blueness.

Hin Daeng's Red Soft Coral is lush and tall, and huge schools of Jacks and Trevally sweep past the ridge, surrounding you with a shimmering wall of silver. Ascending to the shallows we see Crocodile Long Toms and Barracuda stalking their prey, and large schools of Fusiliers darting to and fro.
