You step onto the M/V SIROLO at Chalong Pier as the morning light strips the sea into glass and shadow. The boat pulls away from Phuket’s shoreline—engine hum, gull calls—heading south toward Racha Yai and Racha Noi, two islands that dare you to leave the surface behind.

You step onto the M/V SIROLO at Chalong Pier as the morning light strips the sea into glass and shadow. The boat pulls away from Phuket’s shoreline—engine hum, gull calls—heading south toward Racha Yai and Racha Noi, two islands that dare you to leave the surface behind.
The Racha Islands sit on submerged ridges and granite outcrops fringed by hard and soft coral gardens. Once simple fishing outposts, the islands now host day boats and small resorts; the local community still depends on the sea and has adapted to a steady stream of divers. Geology and current combine here to concentrate clear water and life: anemone fields, bommies, and occasional wreck fragments create habitats for reef fish and turtles.
Onboard, PADI instructors divide days between Discover Scuba sessions for beginners and guided Fun Dives for certified divers. Typical dive profiles range from shallow 5–12 m reef swims to deeper 18–30 m walls and pinnacles, depending on the site and conditions.
Practicalities matter: daily departures from Chalong include hotel transfers from most Phuket resorts, breakfast and lunch, and a limited passenger load (max ~40). Bring your certification card for fun dives, pack reef-safe sunscreen, and plan flights to respect the 18‑hour no-fly guideline after diving. Expect variable seas during the monsoon months—calm, clear water is most likely in the northeast monsoon (November–April).
This is approachable diving with serious marine payoff: comfortable travel logistics, professional instruction, and compact, vibrant reefs—ideal for returning divers and first-timers seeking a managed, high-value day at sea.
No—Discover Scuba options let first-timers do supervised shallow dives; certified divers must bring proof of certification for Fun Dives.
Racha Yai and Racha Noi are common, with site selection depending on the day and conditions; alternate schedules may include Phi Phi or King Cruiser on specific days.
Dives typically range from 5–30 meters depending on site and certification level; instructors will plan profiles appropriate for the group.
Yes—hotel transfers from many Phuket areas and a breakfast and lunch buffet on board are included, plus snacks and soft drinks.
