Details:
Racha Yai offers some of the best local year around dive-sites but the visibility varies as to the season. On the north side of the island are two beautiful
little bays famous for their deep clear water and colorful coral formations. Both of them have almost swimming pool features as they gradually drop to a
depth of 40 feet onto a sandy seabed, providing ample opportunities for both snorkeling and scuba diving. The best diving is off the east coast where the
current allows a gentle drift dive along a sloping rocky face that is covered with an amazing array of hard corals and the nutrient rich water draws large
schools of tropical fish. Here the Island provides several Beaches and gentle sloops with ample playground for Beginners and experienced divers alike. Big
groupers, snapper, tuna and octopus are common dive buddies here as well as a small, perfectly safe wreck, the Andaman Explorer.
These sites offer easy and pleasant diving in shallow water (mostly 5-8 meters) and are easily reached from shore making them popular for both snorkeling and
as training areas for scuba diving classes. |
