As 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.

Getting There

Dive boats go to Racha Yai every day of the week as a part of a 3 dive combo with Racha Noi. There is also a two dive trip to Racha Yai, running everyday of the week as well.

All scuba diving dive sites are at the discretion of the tour leader on the day. Dive sites are selected based on the weather conditions, currents, safety and suitability to majority of divers on the boat. We cannot guarantee specific dive sites prior to the boat departing.

Koh Bida Nok - Phi Phi is possibly Phuket's best day trip dive site.
