Hin Muang ( Purple Rock). Two Dive day dive with day boat from Phi Phi . Huge deep water rock . Current was pretty strong so this turned into a bit of a drift dive along the main wall. Visibility was excellent amd we saw a Manta Ray, loads of Barracuda.
Called purple rock because of all the nice purple soft corals along the wall . Lovely ornate ghost pipe fish in a purple shade too. Great visibility. Lots of lionfish.
