Plateau 1, Racha Noi

Technical Sites: Site descriptions courtesy Deep Blue Divers
Location: 2km south of Koh Racha Noi.

Depth:
Minimum 14m / Maximum 65m

The first plateau just south of Racha Noi is one of Phuket’s highlights and is only visited by very few recreational diving boats. Due to the rather strong currents it is highly recommend that only the experienced attempt to dive here.

This dive site is known for regular manta sightings and its mostly unspoiled seascape. Large schools of barracudas can be encountered along with a variety of rays and the occasional shark.
