Racha Yai Island
|
This exquisite island (sometimes known as Raja Yai Island) offers gentle easy diving for beginners with some challenging and fun drift diving for the more experienced diver. Beneath the water you'll find a sloping rock face dotted with hard coral forests, and especially colourful blue Staghorn corals. Hovering over the reef are schools of false Barracudas, while on the reef itself you'll see Octopus and Cuttlefish in addition to the more common tropical species. Water depths range from 3 to 30 metres and visibility is generally around 20 metres, making Racha a good dive site for both divers and snorkellers. |
