The Hin Muang diving site, the southernmost one, is undoubtedly one of the most incredible ecosystems in the Andaman Sea. <\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Alone and in the middle of a vast ocean expanse, the two pinnacles start at 16 meters below the surface and descend beyond 60 meters in depth. They are completely covered with soft corals, predominantly in shades of purple. The diving at Hin Muang revolves around the two pinnacles, in a circuit resembling a figure 8 or a 3, depending on the direction of the current or its absence.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

A large number of reef species inhabit the two pinnacles: invertebrates such as boxer shrimps, octopuses, or nudibranchs; small fish like thousands of glassfish, groupers, or giant moray eels – there’s a little of everything. In the 20-30 meter zone, you may spot stingrays and reef sharks, while above, there are schools of barracudas and rainbow runners.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Oceanic species can appear at any moment in the magical blue of the Andaman Sea: eagle rays, tuna, large manta rays, and whale sharks during the migration season, between the months of November and May.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The astonishing Hin Daeng dive site \u2013 red rock \u2013 is located just 300 meters east of its sister site, Hin Muang. Three triangular rocks barely emerge from the water like tropical icebergs, with the largest part hidden below the surface, featuring an incredible drop-off descending to a depth of 50 meters and a gently sloping coral garden.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The rocks are covered with hard and soft corals, predominantly in shades of red and purple, as well as anemones. They shelter hundreds of isolated or schooling reef fish species, such as wrasses, surgeonfish, angelfish, parrotfish, fusiliers, and breams, as well as numerous colorful invertebrates. The diving at Hin Daeng is usually done in two separate dives, depending on the direction of the current or its absence:<\/p>
