About this site
Hin Ngam, also listed as Koh Hin Ngam, is a dive site in the Koh Lipe and Tarutao National Park area of Thailand, famous for the black stones that stand above the surface. Below the surface the reef opens into rich coral gardens.
It is a good site for macro photography, with several species of nudibranchs. Depths reach 24 metres, and divers have reported fusiliers, yellowtail barracuda, rabbitfish, batfish, bannerfish, angelfish and trevallies, along with shrimp and crabs. The water is 28 to 30°C from November to April.
