Racha Noi, Manta Reef
★★★★☆
(2,181)
From Phuket to reach Racha Noi takes about a 2 hour boat ride. On the east coast the first part of the island Racha Noi is a dive site named Manta Reef. It is more or less a wall dive with a depth up to around 22 meters. The wall is fully covered with different corals.
Many fish species can be found along the beautifully covered soft corals on the wall from top to bottom. It is one of the Phuket dive spots where you may encounter Manta rays.
