Lots of hard corals and small coral reef fish species. Turtles often frequent the area. Triggerfish, catfish, gobies, rays, porcupine fish, pufferfish, parrotfish, wrasse, and anemone fish.

Hin Wong Pinnacle

Hin Wong Pinnacle is located on the east side of Koh Tao, off the coast of Hinwon Bay. We recommend this site for intermediate and above divers because the current is relatively strong on many days. The main rock is not very large, but the entire dive site is wide and has a few scattered rocks.

This “drift“ dive site is located on the north side of Nan Yuan Island, adjacent to Koh Tao. The name “Green Rock“ comes from the fact that the roots near the surface of the water look green. The depth ranges between 10 and 25 meters and 30 to 40 meters depth can be found with a short swim to the West.

No Name Pinnacle

Classic pinnacle off of Twins (another dive site) but much less divers than Twins due to its location being slightly deeper. Quite fun to dive for advanced divers.
