Koh Racha Yai – Eastern Coast

Dive Location: 90 minutes from Chalong Bay.
Depth: Average 12m / Maximum 22m

This is a very popular diving destination and is suitable for all levels of diver. There’s also enjoyable snorkelling around the rocks in the shallow waters off the islands coastline. The shallower sections of the reef feature tables and smaller examples of leaf corals; the deeper waters have similar species, but larger. There are many featherstars, lionfish, puffers and a few parrotfish and wrasse. The site’s southern end has the bonus of encountering mating cuttlefish along with a greater display of reef creatures, including good-sized titan triggerfish, moray eels and octopus; plus on a smaller scale, a better selection of colourful fish and invertebrates. Leopard sharks and hawksbill turtles are occasionally seen around this coastline.
