Hin Mouang |
Dive Location: 27km west of Koh Rok.
Depth: Average 23m / Maximum 70m+
This is one of the best dive sites in Thai waters. A series of six or more submerged pinnacles heads southwest, the shallowest being about 8m beneath the surface. The site gets its name courtesy of the carpet of purple sea anemones which cloak its upper surfaces.
This is a very colourful and exciting site. Large pelagics often visit, including enormous barracuda and very large tuna. Manta rays and whale sharks regularly frequent the surrounding waters, as do large stingrays.
The west coast of the island is where all the beaches are
