Racha Yai offers some of the most accessible and rewarding diving in the Phuket region, making it perfect for divers of all experience levels. Just a short boat ride from the main island, this destination features exceptional water clarity with visibility often exceeding 20 meters. The island's western bays (Bungalow Bay and Siam Bay) provide sheltered conditions ideal for beginner divers and underwater photography, with abundant hard corals hosting colorful reef fish, moray eels, and occasional visits from blacktip reef sharks. For more experienced divers, the eastern side offers sites like Lucy's Reef (Bay 3) with deeper diving opportunities and a chance to encounter larger pelagic species. Home Run Reef provides an exciting drift diving experience when currents are present, allowing divers to glide effortlessly along vibrant reef walls.
