About Hin Ngam
Hin Ngam ("beautiful rock"] lives up to its name with attractive granite formations covered in hard corals and sponges. The site features a series of rocky ridges between 8m and 20m that create habitat for blue-spotted stingrays, angelfish, and a variety of nudibranchs. It sees minimal traffic compared to west coast sites.
Tips
Best dived when easterly winds are calm. Look under ledges for stingrays.
