About Hin Yai

Hin Yai is a deep pinnacle in the outer reaches of the Pattaya diving area. The rock rises from 30m to about 15m below the surface, attracting schools of pelagic fish including barracuda and trevally. Strong current is common, limiting this site to experienced divers, but the big fish encounters make it worthwhile.
