Hin Daeng - Hin Muang's scuba diving highlights.
They are one of the best places in Thailand to see Manta Ray and Whale Sharks and have a healthy local population of these graceful creatures. There are also underwater pinnacles, drop-offs, walls, bolders

 

The direct translation of Hin Daeng from Thai to English is Red Rock while Hin Muang means Purple Rock. The names are derived from the red and purple broccoli corals that adorn their respective walls and peaks.  Arguably providing the best diving Thailand has to offer, and certainly the deepest, these two sites offer a stunning array of soft corals and marine life.  They are one of the few places in the area where manta rays can be found and even the occasional whale shark.  Due to strong currents and their depth these site are more suited to experienced divers. Even if you are not lucky enough to encounter a manta ray or whale shark there is plenty to see. Travel time to these two amazing sites is around 4 hours.

Dive Site : Hin Daeng - Hin Muang (Red Rock & Pupple Rock)

Hin Daeng (Hin Dang or Red Rock)

 

Hin Daeng offers very different topography to Hin Muang.  Like the tip of an iceberg the top of this site pokes a meter or so above the surface.

The southern side of the reef drops steeply to around 70 meters. It is simply covered in red broccoli corals. Large swathes of the reef shimmer with massive schools of glass fish; lion fish glide around the perimeter looking for a chance to strike. The northern side drops in a gentler slope; it is more barren but seems to be a favourite place for yellow snapper to congregate.  In between are a number of channels, ridges and pinnacles to navigate around. A school of bat fish hang around the shallows near the main pinnacle. These curious creatures will often come very close and check out divers.   A variety of nudibranchs, crabs and shrimp inhabit the reef and there is of course the chance to see Manta Rays that are often found cruising around the site.

Hin Muang (Hin Maung or Puple Rock)

 

Hin Muang is usually dived first. The top of this long slender ridge like-reef lies about 10 meters under the surface and is covered with anemones.  Numerous peaks descend like giant stepping stones down to 22 meters.  Its coral covered walls then plunge over 60 meters to the ocean floor.  This impressive monolith is prone to strong currents so it is advisable to use the attached mooring line for assents and descents. Once safely on the reef, it is time to enjoy the show.  In what seems like a well-choreographed routine, huge schools of bait fish move in unison to avoid the attentions of marauding blue fin trevally, Jacks and rainbow runners. The action can be relentless and divers can sometimes find themselves engulfed buy a teaming ball of fish. Cleaning stations pepper the top of the ridge and offer the best place to see mantas.
