    Ko Rin, off Koh Tao, is a good spot for a relaxed dive. The main feature is a small pinnacle that drops to around 18 meters, surrounded by a sandy bottom. You'll often find schools of yellowtail barracuda circling the rock, and blue-spotted stingrays are common in the sand. It’s a gentle site, perfect for newer divers or those looking for a calm afternoon submersion.
