StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

Hin Kong (East West) is a decent introduction to diving in Mergui, especially if you’re just getting your sea legs back. Dropping to a gentle 22 metres, it’s a comfortable depth for beginners to spend some time exploring. We’ve drifted along here, picking out various nudibranchs on the rocks and watching schools of fusiliers swirl overhead. It’s not going to blow your mind, but for a relaxed dive with consistent visibility, it does the trick.
