About Hin Lak Bat (Shark Fin Rock]

Hin Lak Bat is a pointed rock that juts from the sea surface like a shark's dorsal fin. Below the waterline, the rock's reef slopes to 20m with healthy hard and soft coral coverage. Sea fans and gorgonians decorate the deeper sections. The site attracts schooling barracuda and a variety of macro life in the coral crevices.
