Phi Phi Barakuda Diving Center Thailand

Hin Daeng and Hin Muang

Two outstanding Dive Sites in South Thailand
accessable from Phi Phi Island

Hin Daeng and Hin Muang are fascinating and really dramatic dive sites. Arguably the greatest two sites in Thai waters they are comparable to the best diving spots in the world!

The gentle giant of the oceans... Hin Mouang is located some 200mtrs from Hin Daeng. These reefs offer the deepest drop-off and steepest wall in the kingdom. As both reefs are situated in open sea, making the the only feeding grounds of the area, there is an unimaginable amount of marine life here. The nearest island is Ko Rock Nock, about 25 km away.

Hin Daeng is a large underwater reef surging up from a depth of 50 m, breaking the surface. Only a very small peak hovers above the water. On its northern side the reef drops in a relatively gentle slope. Yet the southern side has a drop-off down to more than 50 meters. Hin Daeng's average depth is 25 meters, reaching 35 meters at the max. Among the high-lights of Hin Daeng are large nurse sharks that live in a cave about 10 meters down at the southwestern part of the wall. Grey reef sharks are likely to be encountered at the walls north-eastern rock formation.

Amazingly steep walls. Hin Muang translates to "Purple Rock". The reason for this name are the many wonderful soft corals - pink and purple sea anemones - that completely cover the highest point of this reef. Hin Muang is located only some hundred meters from Hin Daeng and rises from a depth of more than 70 meters. It comes within 9 meters of the surface and features the deepest drop-off in Thai waters.

Two sides of this amazing rock are really dramatic having steep walls. They are home to big blooming soft corals & large variety of schooling fish Hin Muang is one of only ,a ,few places in Thailand that are home to the Grey reef shark. And of course - here you have a great chance to encounter the famous gentle giant of the oceans - the whale shark. For some reason they come here even more often than at Hin Daeng, only few hundred meters away.
