About Rinkin

Rinkin is a boat-access site a short ride east of Juara Bay where a shallow sandy start turns into a sloping coral garden and a shear rock-faced wall. The mix of branching coral, hard-coral reef, and macro life makes it a relaxed all-in-one site for newer divers and experienced reef hunters alike. In calm weather it also works well for freedivers and snorkelers on the upper slope, while the wall edge rewards steady buoyancy and an easy pace.
