About Koh Rin East
Koh Rin East is the easier side of the Koh Rin area, with a broad sandy bay, a shallow training line, and a reef corner that gives the dive more shape. It is a good Pattaya Far Islands boat day when you want beginner-friendly water in the bay and enough reef edge to keep more experienced divers interested.

Local Intel For Koh Rin East
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
The bay suits entry-level and refresher dives, while the reef corner gives more experienced divers a bit more structure to explore.
Freedive
The sandy bay is the only sensible freedive line on calm days; the reef corner and tide-driven outer edge are better left to scuba.
Snorkel
The bay and nearby reef edge can work for snorkelers when the water is calm, but current around mid-tide makes the outside line less forgiving.
