Hin Muang Dive Site — Thailand

About Hin Muang

Sister site to Hin Daeng and the deepest wall in Thailand, plunging to over 70 meters into the abyss. Purple soft corals blanket the rock face, giving it the name "Purple Rock" and creating a mesmerizing backdrop for patrolling grey reef sharks and eagle rays. Whale sharks and oceanic manta rays are seasonal visitors to this remote open-water pinnacle.
