Racha Noi Bay

Racha Noi Bay

Racha Noi Bay

Racha Noi Bay is a delightful and scenically beautiful bay to the vey south east side of Racha Noi.

This bay is rarely dived as a stand alone dive site because of its distance from Phuket itself. It can take as much as 40 minutes extra boat ride to the dive site.

The dive site is the closest dive site to the favour manta ray dive site of South Tip. For this reason often when the experienced divers are diving South Tip this is the bay where the novice divers will dive.

It always seems to have crystal clear water and lovely white sand that makes it visually stunning above the water.

Book 3 Dive Trip to Racha Noi & Racha Yai

Below there is quite a large soft sand plateau that makes it a very good beginners dive site. Head east and you will follow a rocky reef and eventually hit a sandy bottom that levels out at about 35 metres.

There is a small rocky island to the south which makes for a nice attractions during the dive and if you continue to the south you can follow the rocky reef anywhere between 10 – 25 metres. Be careful following the reef as when the currents are strong they will run directly to the south and it can take you for a long ride. Probably the best drift dives I have done have been at Racha Noi Bay.

Racha Noi is a great place for pelagic and of course with the manta rays, so you never know your luck.

Bida Nok Phi Phi Thailand Day Trip With Aussie Divers Phuket

Koh Bida Nok – Phi Phi

Koh Bida Nok - Phi Phi is possibly Phuket's best day trip dive site. It is one of my favorite dives sites in the area and is the most likely dive site you will do when scuba diving the Phi Phi Islands (weather permitting). A dive site that is accessible to all diving levels and provides great entertainment for all divers. The underwater topography is diverse from sandy bottoms, slopping reefs, a great wall, small caves and large cr [...]

Green Island

Green Island is a small rarely dived island that is due south of Shark Point and about an hour boat ride west of the Phi Phi Islands. It doesn't provide the same quality of diving as either Shark Point or Phi Phi hence the lack of appeal for the day trip boats to stop there. It is a small circular island with a sparse mixture coral and rocks. The southern side of the island is basically a flat sandy sea bed with not much marine life. Ha [...]
