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.

Scuba

The north bay is the open-water training line, with North Rock as the deeper continuation for divers who want more structure.

The bay is the only sensible shallow-water line, but the site is fundamentally a scuba outing rather than a freedive destination.
