Koh Rin Bay

Dive Location: About 1km southwest of Hin Khao.
Depth: Average 7m / Maximum 14m

A steadily sloping reef, consisting of fallen rocks covered with a few foliaceous corals, falls dramatically to the north in the south east bay. A higher percentage of corals slowly begin to dominate the rocks to a depth of 12m, where you find sea whips and black coral bushes.

The diversity of marine life is above average for the area, with many examples of harlequin sweetlips, snappers, squirrelfish and lionfish. Communities of magnificent sea anemones, three-spot dascyllus, basslets and chromis are restricted to the rocky ledges. Neptune barrel sponges lodge among the crevices and are inhabited by moray eels and a range of invertebrates. The shallow bay is ideal for snorkelling.
