Hin Luk Bath is a submerged pinnacle located 3000 metres from shore in the Gulf of Thailand. The site features a reef structure spanning depths of 5 to 25 metres, with an average depth of 12 metres. Access is by boat only. Divers and snorkellers should be aware of mild currents and variable visibility ranging from 5 to 25 metres. Surge and swell at shallower sections can push swimmers toward sharp coral and rocks, requiring active buoyancy control. The site is suitable for intermediate divers and supports night diving, which offers a different experience compared to daytime visits. Keep equipment streamlined to avoid entanglement risks on the reef structure.

Check sea conditions before committing to the site, as surge at the pinnacle's shallower sections can make depth control tricky and push you into the sharp coral or rocks. A night dive at Hin Luk Bath often produces different reef activity than the daytime visit, so it's worth planning both if time allows.
Located west of Bang Bao Pier, accessible by a 20-minute boat journey.
