Hin Deang Dive Site ? Ko Lanta, Thailand.

The dive sites Hin Daeng and Hin Muang are the deepest drop-offs in Thailand. They are world-class dive sites and provide some of the most stunning diving in the area, with a high chance of seeing Manta Rays and even Whale Sharks.

The greater depths and currents make these sites suitable for Experiences Divers or Open Water divers with 20+ dives.

Hin Daeng, ?Red Rock?, and Hin Muang, ?Purple Rock?, are named after the beautiful red and purple corals that cover the pinnacles. Located 70km south of Ko Lanta, they boast good visibility, unless the waters become extremely plankton-rich. It is this plankton that attracts the larger marine-life and there is a high chance of seeing Manta Rays and passing Whale Sharks throughout the season.

Hin Daeng protrudes about 3 meters above the water, but below, it drops straight down to 70+ meters on the southern side. It gets its name from the beautiful red corals that populate most of the dive site. Don?t forget to look out into the blue, away from the reef, as this is where much of the action can be witnessed.

There is a huge school of large Round Bat fish that congregate around the buoy line, and there are often large schools of barracuda patrolling the outer reef.

The marine life that can be found at Ko Haa varies from rare Ghost Pipefish measuring only a few centimetres, to an abundance of Octopus hiding amongst the rocks and crevices. A Hawksbill Turtle is often seen swimming amongst the pristine coral. Manta Rays, Marble Rays, Eagle Rays and even Whale Sharks are spotted here occasionally. You can?t predict exactly what you?ll see, but it?s always a pleasant and rewarding surprise! If you take a look out into the blue, you can find huge schools of silverside fish, glassfish, barracudas and travellie. The crystal-clear waters and consistent visibility of 25m+ make Ko Haa an un-forgettable scuba diving and snorkelling destination.

We make daily dive trips to Ko Haa every day during high season on board our luxury dive boat MV Go Dive.

We keep group sizes small to ensure you get the most out of each fun dive. This also reduces impact on our reefs. Our emphasis is on safety, fun and personal service within a relaxed and stress-free environment. You will find the atmosphere and service on our dive boats, beyond anything you have experienced before!

Our experienced Divemasters know the dive sites extremely well, and will be happy to discuss what you would like to see, and the type of dive or snorkel experience you would like to have. Each dive is personally planned with the divers in each group, to ensure you enjoy each and every dive you make with us. A full briefing is provided at each site, with helpful tips on what to look for, safety information, and the most interesting places to visit.
