Protected bay for open-water practice, with North Rock adding a deeper reef step-up and a bigger Far Islands feel.
About Koh Rin North
Koh Rin North is the north-side training ground on Koh Rin, with a sheltered bay, North Rock just beyond it, and enough reef structure to make the dive more than a basic practice stop. It works well as a Pattaya Far Islands boat day when you want calm water first and a deeper step-up once the bay is done.
