eaboard to Phi Phi island and Koh Ha during Thailand's high season from November to May.
Our Hin Daeng liveaboard leaves Phuket every Friday evening cruising over-night to arrive at Hin Daeng first thing in the morning. Hin Daeng and Hin Muang are 2 pinnacles no more than 500 meters apart 40 km off the coast in Thailand's south Andaman sea. Noted for their higher than normal sitings of manta rays and whale sharks on their migratory trip north these 2 sites act like a magnet to all marine life in the surrounding area. Hin Daeng, meaning red rock in the Thai language, is covered in red soft corals hiding some excellent macro life such a ghost pipefish, mantis shrimp, harlequin shrimp, frogfish
and brightly coloured
nudibranches. Hin Muang, Purple rock, has a covering of purple soft corals, not as pretty as Hin Daeng it is famous for it's sitings of large pelagics such as manta rays. We plan for 4 dives on Saturday, 3 at Hin Daeng and Hin Muang followed by a night dive at Koh Ha. Sunday begins with 2 dives at Koh Ha to explore the chimney and the cathedral and then 2 dives in Koh Phi Phi with a chance to visit the village and take in the sites in the evening followed by an over-night cruise back to Phuket departing the boat on Monday morning. Many divers choose to combine Mermaid 2's Similan islands liveaboard before or after the Hin Daeng liveaboard, creating an exciting 6 day/7 night Andaman sea liveaboard safari - Special offers

Koh Bida Nok and Koh Bida Nai Islands - Koh Phi Phi
These two uninhabited islands lie south of Phi Phi and are a Mecca for leopard sharks. These harmless and docile creatures are usually sleeping around the sand and coral banks of the islands usually no deeper than 20 meters. With Bida Nok as the larger of the two it offers great hard and soft corals with turtles and sea snakes passing bye. The deeper of the two with depths to 30 meters on the west side wall teeming with life from lionfish to baby morays poking there heads from the cracks and well camouflaged octopuses blending in to the rocks will keep your eyes busy on this dive site.
Bida Nai island smaller and slightly shallower offers the chance to see the sleeping leopard shark anywhere from 1 to 10 sharks resting on the bottom in between the staghorn corals. Here the soft corals are abound with their beautiful colors but look closely at the sea fans to find the Tiger-tail sea horse. With two swim-throughs covered in small baitfish and shrimps, lots of colorful reef fish and schools of barracuda and trevallys darting over the reef, and not forgetting the many nudibranches along the way make this a wonderful dive site.
Koh Ha Islands
Koh Ha is a group of five magical uninhabited islands, unspoiled and usually offering crystal clear waters. One of the highlights is diving the Twin Cathedrals, a large cave system that has formed into two large domes with a passage between them. We also dive the Chimney, a separate dive site on island no.1. The chimney starts at 17 metres coming all the way up to 5m with a side passage into another cavern, when the light is right and it comes through the holes in the ceiling it's a magical dive.
Koh Ha island 4 is a macro dive that most of our customers love. starting shallow you swim around a small island looking at Harlequin shrimps, frogfish, ghost pipefish and a very friendly turtle. This whole island group is a haven for marine life and divers alike! – awesome beauty with caverns, caves, chimneys, swim throughs, soft coral covered walls, coral heads and sea bed. The marine diversity here will suit all divers with interesting macro such as pegasus (sea moth) and rare nudibrancs and good fish action plus squid, cuttlefish, lobsters, morays and more.
Hin Muang (Purple Rock)
Purple rock is completely submerged with a bouy line running down to 18 meters in the center of the rock. Hin Muang is basically one very large rock with steep walls running down to over 50 meters with 6 pinnacles on the top. The shallowest being 10 meters from the surface. The rock lies in a north to south direction making navigation around the rock easy. The rock is surrounded by plankton rich water making it a popular place to see manta rays and possibly a whale shark.
Hin Daeng (Red Rock)
Hin Daeng has three large rocks that break the surface and a mooring bouy on the east side that descends down to 14 meters. Here the walls are covered with small red soft coral trees with shrimps and morays in every crack. The south east descends down to over 60 meters with large pelagics cruising in to be cleaned by the cleaner wrasse including devil rays, manta rays and whale sharks, with large schools of barracuda and tunas. Down to the west side on the slopping sand patches are the leopard sharks sleeping on the bottom. Visibility at both sites is usually very good with 20 meter plus.
