Thailand's reputation as a diving destination is long-established and its western coast, met by the Andaman Sea, is where scuba divers flock to experience its finest dive sites.

Mostly the drawcard for divers is the reputation of the Similan Islands. Take a closer look, however, and you will see that there are other wonderful dive sites here that deserve your attention, Hin Daeng, Hin Muang, Koh Ha and Koh Phi Phi.

This area is found to the south of Phuket Island and within the Mu Koh Lanta National Marine Park. Their proximity to Phuket means these sites can be dived via a short liveaboard trip, making them attractive to divers restricted by time or budget.


Liveaboard Diving Safari Options in Hin Daeng-Hin Muang


• Hin Daeng and Hin Muang

If you are short of time or on a low budget, you can join a liveaboard tour to Phi Phi Islands, Hin Daeng & Hin Muang. These trips are usually only 3 nights in duration.

Currents can be strong but both Hin Daeng and Hi Muang offer plenty of shelter. Divers should be comfortable in the water and be able to manage some current. Hin Muang can at times represent quite a challenge since the current undergoes an increase in strength as it passes over the top of the rock.
