Racha Yai, Staghorn Reef
★★★★☆
(74)
Staghorn Reef stretches between Bay 2 and Bay 3 on Ratchayi Island. At a depth of 5 to 20 meters, you can see clusters of branch corals here and there. The current is often strong, so you can dive in the style of drift diving. You can see various creatures and fishes in the branch coral areas, rocky areas, and walls as if flying through the air.
On the reef, you can see mollusks such as octopuses and bobwhites mimicking the rocks, as well as schools of snappers and red snapper. You’ll also find cute clownfish such as skunk anemonefish, as well as the popular clownfish.
