    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Hin Phae sits off Similan Island 3, a compact reef of bommies and coral patches. It’s an easy drift, suitable for newer divers and those looking for a relaxed afternoon dive. You’ll typically see plenty of reef fish: anemonefish, wrasse, and parrotfish picking at the corals. Keep an eye out for blue-spotted stingrays tucked into sandy patches.
