Why dive here
With 173+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, whale sharks and clownfish - Hin Dot offers some of Similan Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
Hin Dot offers a series of large granite boulders, typical of the Similans, creating swim-throughs and gullies to explore. We often spot leopard sharks resting on the sandy bottom here, and schools of fusiliers swirl around the pinnacles. It’s generally a relaxed drift dive, good for all experience levels, particularly if you enjoy exploring interesting rock formations. Keep an eye out for octopus tucked into the crevices.
