About Hin Daeng/หินแดง
Hin Daeng/หินแดง is a boat-only open-sea pinnacle with steep walls, red soft coral, and plenty of room for a dramatic drift-style dive. It is famous for large-pelagic encounters and clear water when conditions cooperate, but the current can be strong enough that line descents and controlled pickups are part of the plan. This is an advanced dive, not a casual reef swim.
