About Hin Lak Ngam

Hin Lak Ngam refers to a beautiful rocky islet rising from a depth of 20 meters to 2 meters above the water surface. Due to the shallow waters, this site is suitable for all level divers to explore. A large variety of hard and soft corals envelopes this rock pinnacle along with abundant marine critters. Very colorful and scenic dive.

Dive Site Hazards

  • Bubble Trapping Under Overhangs — Rock overhangs can trap exhaled bubbles, reducing visibility and causing disorientation.

  • Reflected Surge Patterns — Surge reflecting off rock faces can create irregular and unpredictable water movement.

  • Current Funnel Effect — Narrow gaps between rocks can accelerate water flow unexpectedly.

  • Hidden Depth Variations — Complex reef topography can conceal depth changes, leading to unintended profile variations.

  • Distraction from Marine Activity — High fish activity can distract divers and delay depth or gas awareness.

  • Rapid Surge Direction Changes — Surge near reef structures can reverse direction quickly, pushing divers sideways into unexpected areas.
