What a fantastic experience! I was a touch apprehensive at first, but I never wanted to leave once I witnessed the feeling. Truly amazing! One of the highlights of my holiday in Thailand, one of the highlights of my life. Have a go, you’re only here once! Absolutely superb and what an adrenaline rush. Thanks Andy!
Best wishes, fantastic fishes.

Diving in Phi Phi, Hin Dot

 
Thai Name: Hin Dot
Translation: Jump Reef
 

Although a great dive site, Hin Dot is seldom dived since it is not suitable for students on their dive course. What this means is that it offers some of the best diving in Phi Phi since it is usually completely free of other divers - wow, what a dive site.

Located at an unexpecting point at the mouth of Tonsai Bay, the top of a series of pinnacles starts at 5 meters from the surface. Looking down you will see a series of huge acropora table corals surrounded by a light green sheen of created by the corralimorphs. Dropping down onto this first pinnacle it doesn't take long to realize that this is going to be a special dive.

The first pinnacle goes as deep as 15 meters but half way down you will meet the second pinnacle that creates a canyon with the first and this is usually stuffed full of sweepers and yellow lined snappers. Continuing past the second pinnacle you will discover a series of smaller pinnacles and each one has a breathtaking amount of life on it. So many and so deep are the schools of fish here, makes photographing a real test due to the lack of light produced by the umbrella of fish.

Leopard Sharks or marble rays often lay there eggs here and this is a true testament to how unique this site is. Nudibranchs, frogfish, lionfish, triggerfish are among the list of creatures you can tick off your list of animals to see!

The Dive trip

This is part of a 2 dive day trip and usually Hin Dot will be picked to dive according to the best slack tide period of the day and the other dive will be conducted at either the Bida Islands or Phi Phi Ley Island.

Refreshments, water and lunches are served between the dives.
Each group of divers consists of no more than four divers per Divemaster.
