 Racha
Noi is the more isolated of the two islands and is a popular dive-site
for more experienced divers, as the depths are generally greater and the
currents frequently stronger than at its sister island to the North. You
will encounter huge underwater boulders that offer a good chance to see
manta rays and whale sharks. The northern tip of the island offers an
opportunity for a good multilevel dive along a large pinnacle where spotting
larger marine life like Reef Sharks and Stingrays is common.
Off the southern point is a nice drift dive along some
spectacular scenery as you find yourself on top of a large rock formation
surrounded by deep water. On the southwest side there is a wooden ship-wreck
that draws a lot of interesting reef fish. Racha Noi offers many opportunities
for an enjoyable and rewarding deep-dive but due to the potential for
strong currents here many of the dive shops will only bring divers here
who have an advanced certification.
