Hin Kong/Goon
Ko Surin Dtai, East side
Pinnacle in the middle of the sea. The shallowest point is at a depth of about 7 meters and currents in this area can be strong, so the destination is not on every liveaboard's destination list as here drivers need to be a bit more advanced. Trevally, barracudas and reef sharks are often seen at the dive site. Even Manta has been seen here, but it is rarer.

A very similar dive site to Marshall Reef and usually only one of these is dived during the liveaboard. A beautiful shallow destination for the last dives of the day when the bottom times are already shorter.

Tranquil Bay

One of Surin's numerous reefs. Evening or night dives are usually done here because that’s when the reef really comes to life. Crabs and other small animals come out from their cavities in the darkness of the night to hunt for food. So take your dive torch with You and enjoy life under the surface in the dark.

Turtle Ledge

This sloping reef is named after turtles, but unfortunately they are not the most common sight on the dive site. Nevertheless, this beautiful destination is good for drift diving due to its shape; along the reef it is easy to glide along the current. This reef is often also a destination for sunset or night diving on a liveaboard.

This dive site on the west side of the reef is shallow, while the eastern side of the scenery adorn the large boulders that extend deeper. Turtles thrive on these sites, so it’s not uncommon to see one during a dive. Deeper, large barracudas and tunas hunt for food or spend time among the rocks.
