About this dive site

This dive site, Hin Ngam, is located off the coastline and features three prominent pinnacles. It offers a choice of exploration: you can follow the shoreline or embark on a navigational challenge to visit these scattered pinnacles. The area is known for its delightful simplicity. Shallow waters reveal vibrant coral reefs teeming with life, including Titian Triggerfish, Yellowtail Barracuda, Six-Banded Angelfish, Blue-Ringed Angelfish, and a large shoal of Weibel's Butteryflyfish. Exploring the pinnacles brings encounters with Porcupine Pufferfish, Bearded Scorpionfish, Janns Pipefish, and White-Eyed Moray Eels—and if you’re fortunate, a Blue-Spotted Ray hunting in the sand. The site is renowned for its shrimp diversity.
