About this site

Racha Noi Island is a dive site located near Phuket, Thailand, known for exceptional visibility and calm seas, making it a top choice for both recreational diving and depth training.

The site offers depth availability of 70 metres or more, giving divers access to a wide range of depths over a reef bottom. Visibility is consistently strong, running 15 metres or more on a poor day and reaching 30 to 40 metres or beyond under good conditions.

The island's shape means diving is possible year-round, as divers can move to whichever side is sheltered from the wind and swell depending on the season. Access is by SCUBA dive boat on daily trips, charter speedboat, or dedicated freediving trips — there is no shore entry.
