Koh Chang rocky reef with coral, turtles, and barracuda.
Koh Chang rocky reef with coral, turtles, and barracuda.
Boat logistics and route planning are easiest with a Koh Chang operator.
Hin Raab is a rocky Koh Chang site with coral around the main reef and enough structure to hold a wide mix of fish. Divers come here for turtles, stingrays, barracuda, groupers, and the occasional bigger surprise, while the nearby Secret Reef and T11 area add more variety to the same boat run. It is a boat dive that rewards steady buoyancy and a plan that keeps the team moving along the rock rather than chasing depth.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
5m - 22m
Depth Note
Most of the reef sits around 5-16 m, with deeper parts in the low 20s and the separate wreck area deeper still.
Best Season
Calmer dry-season windows make the boat run easier, with the site also workable year-round when conditions are fair.
Typical Conditions
Boat-access rocky reef with coral patches, a deeper side, and a second set of sites nearby that add variety to the same run.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Keep the team tight on the reef, manage buoyancy around the boulders, and treat the deeper side and wreck-side features as the parts that need the most discipline.
Access Restrictions
Boat access from Koh Chang operators is the normal route; this is not a shore-entry site.
Legal Notes
Follow Koh Chang marine-park rules and any seasonal closure notices or operator rules in force.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Boat-access reef around a rocky core with a deeper side, coral patches, and a route that can extend to Secret Reef and the T11 area.
Freediving
Only the shallow reef edge is sensible for breath-hold work; the full area is really a scuba circuit.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is limited to the calmest shallow patches and is not the main use case.
