Hin Daeng and Him Muang

March 8
Sunrise at breakfast

Headed over to go scuba diving.
The boat

I went to book the dive a few days ago. While I was there, there were 3 experience divers trying to book Hin Daeng and Hin Muang. They talked me into it as I have my Advamced Diving Cert. Did some reading on oth the sites....says it's for experienced divers. So needless to say, I talked myself into not being able to do the dive.

Hin Daeng and Hin Muang are two World class, top 10 dive sites. The Internet states that both these sites are advanced dive sites and you need recent diving experience (within the last 2 years). They always have currents, waves on the surface and can be challenging. We were all hoping to see whale sharks and manta rays.

Hin Daeng (Red Rock) has a submerged boulder pinnacle where, looking at the bare rocks above water you'd never know the beauty below. This is where we saw the manta ray.

Got stung by jelly fish at this site

The dive masters poured vinegar on it...this stopped the stinging.

Hin Muang (Purple Rock) has Thailand's highest vertical wall, dotted,with beautiful purple soft corals.

Had so much fun I'm going diving again tomorrow.
