Dive-site story
Set along the east coast of Koh Tao, Hin Wong Bay features underwater granite boulders blanketed with soft corals, seafans, and sea anemones. The bay slopes gently from a sandy shoreline out into deeper patches of boulder clusters and hard coral gardens. Its sheltered orientation offers calmer waters when southwesterly winds stir the island's western dive sites.
Extensive boulder swim-throughs encrusted with branching hard corals and encrusting sponges
Sheltered bay conditions suitable for navigation exercises and relaxed macro observation
Dense clusters of sea anemones inhabited by pink anemonefish

Seasonality
Calmest water and optimal visibility align with the Gulf of Thailand dry and summer periods, whereas the monsoon from October to December brings rougher surface chop.
