(746)
Racha Noi Island is located about one and a half hours south of Phuket by diving boat. You can dive on the west side of the island during the dry season from November to April, and the rainy season from May to October, you can dive on the east side of the island. It is a popular dive site for divers who expect to see manta rays.
Encounters with manta rays are high in Marina Bay on the west side of the island and South Tip on the south. Trough sharks can often be spotted at relatively deep dive sites on the east side of the island. In the shallow coral reefs, you can see various kinds of damsels and tropical fishes.
