Hin Deang/Hin Muang
Hin Muang (Purple Rock)
This dive site got its name from the large amount
of purple soft corals that completely cover the rocks and can be seen
throughout the dive. The site itself is a long narrow ridge which rises from
the ocean floor at a depth of approximately 65 meters and goes to its highest
point of approximately 8 meters. It can be accessed by a permanent buoy line
near the shallowest point. The diver travels along the walls and steep reefs
that the site consists of, including the peaks providing cleaner stations where
manta rays and whale sharks swim very close to be groomed by the smaller reef
fishes. With a plethora of marine life inhabiting the site, looking out into
the blue also offers the chance of seeing trevallies, rainbow runners,
barracudas, mackerel and tuna fish hunting in schools. Diving opportunities Koh

Hin Deang (Red Rock)
The Hin Muang’s sister dive site, it got its name
because of large amount of red soft corals topping this large rock that can be
seen throughout the dive. Hin Daeng is a huge pinnacle that rises from the
ocean floor at a depth of approximately 50 meters. Only a few hundred meters
distant from Hin Muang, but three times bigger in size. Hin Daeng offers divers
a large variety of dives in one site. With walls, canyons, gentle and steep
sloping reefs, pinnacles, and thousands of tiny holes where many wonderful
small and varied creatures reside, it has something for every diver to welcome.
From small macro creatures to large hunting fish or even stunning manta rays
and the occasional whale shark, it is a dive that should not be missed! Best
