Hin Dot is a superb diving site in Koh Phi Phi. The spot is also called Chimney Rock. It consists of 3 superb submerged pinnacles from 28 meters on a sandy bottom to 5 meters deep. The 3 magnificent chimneys are covered with hard and soft coral. It is one of the best dive sites of Koh Phi Phi island. The spot is a great multi level dive suitable for all divers but better to be Padi Open Water Advanced or CMAS 2 stars if you want to explore the deeper part of the pinnacle where Leopard Sharks usually rest. The reef life around the Hin Dot is amazing, often with a big school of trevallies and barracudas hanging around. The site is located just outside Tonsai Bay. Current can sometimes be strong in this spot.

This location is a Reef. Location based around one or many Rocks.

You can dive Hin Dot all year long. Access: from the Shore. See the map of Hin Dot on the right for the exact location.
