StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

Hin Rap sits a bit offshore from Surin Nua, and we like it for a deeper wall dive, particularly on the east side. That’s where the boulders drop off to a good 25 meters, creating a proper wall for us to explore. Keep an eye out for bigger pelagics cruising by in the blue here, it’s not uncommon to spot them. If you’re not keen on depth, or just fancy a surface interval with a view, the shallower reef on the west side is usually great for snorkelling and has a good chance of turtle sightings. It’s a solid pick for those who appreciate a bit of vertical relief and the chance to spot larger fish.
