Hin Wong Pinnacle

Koh Tao, Thailand

A lesser-known dive site featuring dramatic underwater topography with swim-throughs, caves, and resident reef sharks in an uncrowded setting.

About this place

This hidden gem on Koh Tao's east coast offers dramatic granite formations creating natural swim-throughs and small caves perfect for exploration. The site regularly hosts white-tip reef sharks, large groupers, and schools of snappers while remaining relatively uncrowded compared to the main pinnacles. The shallow sections (12-18m) make it suitable for Advanced Open Water divers, while deeper areas extend to 28m. Best accessed by longtail boat from Hin Wong Bay, and excellent for macro photography with frequent nudibranch and octopus sightings.
