Hin Daeng / Hin Muang - Koh Lanta & Phi Phi
Hin Daeng and Hin Muang, two offshore pinnacles, really stand out in the Andaman Sea. We’ve had some fantastic dives here, often feeling like we’re on a miniature liveaboard trip even on day boats from Lanta. You’re looking at dramatic walls, thick with anemones and soft corals, dropping deep into the blue. It’s where we’ve often encountered mantas gliding by, seemingly out of nowhere, and the sheer volume of schooling fish, particularly fusiliers and snapper, can be impressive. Expect currents to be a factor, so it’s best for those comfortable with drift diving, but the rewards are definitely worth the effort.
