Scuba diving in Hin Rap

Hin Rap is situated off a small island called Koh Klum. There are actually two dive sites in the area. The first is a dive around the rocky reef, covered in barrel sponges with crowded shelves of soft corals and gorgonians. The second area is to the north, which is a little deeper and richer in corals with a small canyon, where divers can spot turtles, batfish, stingrays, white morays, big barracudas, angelfish, grouper, triggerfish, clownfish, parrotfish, and sometimes whale sharks. This is not an area for deep-water diving. The depth is 6-20m/20-66ft. It is a boat dive for more advanced divers.
