 Racha Noi and Racha Yai.
Our southern islands. Racha Yai (big) is I hour and 30 minutes away with daytrip boat and is suitable for all level of divers. Visibility ranges from 10 to 30 meters. Diving conditions are easy, with moderate drift diving being common place here. The reefs are hard corals mostly stag horn, with abundant fish life. This site can be dived all the year round as a two dive daytrip, or as part of a three dive daytrip to Racha Noi (small). Racha Noi is located another hour further south from Yai and is considered an advanced dive destination. Visibility is from 10 to 30 meters and currents tend to be moderate to strong. The reefs are mixture of hard and soft corals. Fish life is abundant, and there is a good possibility to see some of Thailand’s larger visitors Manta and whalesharks.
 
 
 
  Shark point/anemone reef/king cruiser wreck
  and koh dok mai.
 Shark point
(Hin musang) is a marine sanctuary and is located 1 hour and 30 minutes away with the daytrip boat. It takes its name from the leopard sharks which are normally encountered on the sandy bottom. Shark point has three pinnacles with the biggest of which breaking the surface. Visibility ranges from 5 to 15 meters, coral growth is predominantly soft, amazing colours, with some mixed in hard corals. Fish life is abundant. Current is moderate to strong. This dive site is available all the year around, to all certified divers.
 
 
 Anemone reef
A truly beautiful site, less than a mile away from shark point. Once again a pinnacle site, but this time not breaking the surface (Hin Jom in Thai). The top is completely covered in Anemones, followed by thick soft coral growths. Current moderate to strong, visibility 5 to 15 meters, suitable for all levels, open all the year around.
 
 
 King cruiser wreck
The king cruiser was a passenger ferry, that struck the top of anemone reef in May 1997 on its way to Phi Phi island. It sank in less than a hour without any injuries, upright and in one piece, and provided the phuket dive community with an excellent dive site. The wreck itself is 82 meters long and 25 meters wide, sitting in 32 meters of water. At 12 meters you will find the captains cabin, and at 18 meters the passenger section. The wreck in last couple of years has started to break up, but it is still a wonderful dive for all level of divers, open all the year around with 5 to 15 meters of visibility and moderate currents but with plenty of shelter.
