Dive-site story
Rising from the open ocean south of Koh Lanta, Hin Daeng features towering vertical drop-offs blanketed in soft red corals. The dramatic underwater topography drops sheer on the southern side, while gentle slopes and gullies define the northern and western faces. Because the pinnacle sits exposed far offshore, oceanic currents sweep past, drawing large pelagic visitors alongside schools of jacks and fusiliers.
Steep vertical walls covered in thick red soft coral gardens
Regular pelagic encounters including giant oceanic manta rays and whale sharks
Dramatic pinnacles, rocky chimneys, and deep gullies
