This dive site, Hin Ngam, is situated on the southwest side of Koh Rok Noi, offering a rocky underwater landscape. Divers can navigate along the natural rock formations and extensive coral gardens. While no specific historical events are mentioned, the site is a pristine natural reef, continuously shaped by marine life and ocean currents, providing a serene diving experience.
The area boasts a rich diversity of marine life, including an abundance of hard corals like boulder and branching corals, as well as soft corals such as sea whips and anemones. Inhabitants include macro life like shrimp and nudibranchs, larger species like sea cucumbers, angelfish, surgeonfish, moray eels, and green turtles. Clownfish are also commonly found nestled within the anemones.
The best time to visit Koh Rok Noi for diving is generally during the dry season, from November to May, when water conditions are calm and visibility is excellent. This site is ideal for both divers and freedivers due to its relatively shallow average depth and vibrant marine ecosystem. Snorkelers will also find the shallow coral gardens highly rewarding, offering ample opportunities for wildlife spotting close to the surface.
