Diving :
Daily Dive Trips on Racha Yai Island, we offer you top quality
diving in a non-crowded and relaxed atmosphere. We avoid big
boats, crowded reefs and always dive in small groups. Because
we are already located just beside all the best dive sites,
another advantage is that you don't have to spend half of
your day traveling to the reefs.
If you want to do a beach dive, just gear up, jump in and
you're at the dive site. When going with boats to the other
reefs around the island, the trip still takes maximum of 15
minutes. This way you can easily make 1-3 dives every day,
and still have time in between to enjoy the beaches and nature
of the island.
