StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

Hin Kop, in the Similan Islands, gives us a straightforward dive. You’ll navigate granite boulders, some stacked, some scattered, creating swim-throughs and small caves that are fun to explore. Look closely for nudibranchs and flatworms on the rock faces, and we often spot whitetip reef sharks resting on the sandy bottom here. It’s a good spot for divers who enjoy exploring unique rock formations and a relaxed pace.
