StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

Hin Gong offers a gentle drift along a sloping reef, making it a good choice for newer divers finding their fins in the Similans. We often spot leopard sharks resting on the sand patches, and the bommies here are home to a good variety of nudibranchs. Visibility usually holds up well, giving you plenty of time to explore the smaller critters without fighting a big surge. It’s a comfortable, easy dive.
