About Hin Pae หินแพ
Hin Pae is a boat-dived Chumphon pinnacle site on the north side of Koh Ngam Yai, where two rocky towers rise from blue water and create a compact route around boulders, ledges, and small cave-like recesses. The site is known for anemones, sea whips, black coral growth, and reef life that often attracts schools of fish, larger hunting species, rays, turtles, and occasional pelagic visitors.

Scuba
Two rock pinnacles with depths from about 6–23 m and nearby caves provide varied scuba terrain.
Freedive
Experienced boat-based freedivers can work the upper sections of the pinnacles in calm weather, but the site is more commonly planned as a scuba dive because the main terrain drops away quickly.
Snorkel
Hin Pae is not usually treated as a primary snorkel site because access is by boat and the main features sit below the surface around exposed rock.
