Dive-site story
Rising from the sandy seafloor south of the Koh Chang archipelago, Hin Gue Dueng is an isolated granite pinnacle carpeted with sea anemones and branching soft corals. Open-water currents wash around the rock, attracting passing pelagic fish that school off the drop-offs. Divers descend along mooring lines onto the top of the formation before circling downward along sheer rocky crevices and granite boulders scattered across the base.
