    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Hin Ngam, just a short boat ride from Ko Tao's main beaches, is a gentle introduction to Gulf diving. At a maximum depth of 11 meters, it's perfect for newer divers getting comfortable with their buoyancy or those looking for an easy, relaxed exploration. We usually find smaller reef fish here, things like parrotfish nibbling on the rocks and damselfish darting amongst the coral patches. It’s a nice, simple dive for building confidence and enjoying the slower pace.
