Dive-site story
Located on the western flank of Koh Racha Noi, this dive site features giant granite boulders tumbling down into deep sand, creating numerous crevices and sheltered swim-throughs. The protected bay area gradually slopes into deeper water, where outer currents attract pelagic visitors. Sandy channels between the massive formations host colony-dwelling species, while the rock faces support hard coral growth and gorgonian sea fans.
