Homerun Reef – Racha Yai
Homerun Reef is a popular last dive of the day as it runs north along the east side of Racha Yai and starts to take you back in the Chalong direction for the end of the dive day and another popular place for learner divers.
Racha Yai Island VideoAs a dive site, Homerun Reef is typical of the Racha Yai dive sites. It is made up of mostly hard corals including staghorn, branch and pore coral and is suitable for all levels of divers although at times the current heading north can be quite strong and care should be taken. The reef starts at 5 metres and slopes down to 20 metres where it becomes a sandy bottom.
