Morning light lifts off Chalong Pier and the boat cuts a clean line through the Andaman Sea — your day begins with coffee and a short safety briefing before a run south to Koh Racha Noi and Koh Racha Yai.
These two islands are simple in profile: low, rounded granite outcrops fringed by healthy coral gardens. Racha Noi typically offers two relaxed dives in shallower, high-visibility sites—ideal for reef-watching and macro life—followed by lunch on board. Racha Yai hosts the third dive; currents can pick up there, and experienced guides often take certified divers to east-coast wrecks and deeper drop-offs.
The islands sit just off Phuket’s southern shore and have long been part of local fishing routes rather than tourist settlements; today they’re protected by reef-aware operators who emphasize minimal anchoring and no-touch rules. Expect to see shoals of reef fish, batfish, triggerfish, occasional barracuda, cuttlefish and, if you’re lucky, green turtles and curious octopus.
Practically: the trip runs about 10 hours with hotel pickup from Patong, Karon, Kata, Chalong, Rawai and Nai Harn, and departs around 08:00. Certified divers should bring their certification card and logbook; discover-scuba and snorkeling options are available for non-certified guests. Equipment, tanks and weights are included though rental gear may carry a surcharge.
Pack reef-safe sunscreen, a light change of clothes, seasickness meds if you’re sensitive, and a waterproof camera with a secure strap. Follow your guide’s brief on currents and buoyancy—these dives reward steady, respectful diving more than speed.
Certified divers are required to show certification for certified dives; non-certified guests can snorkel or book a supervised discover-scuba experience if available.
This is a three-dive daytrip: typically two dives at Racha Noi in the morning and one at Racha Yai after lunch; exact sites depend on conditions and guide choice.
Breakfast, lunch, drinks, tanks, weights, a dive guide and hotel transfer (from listed areas) are included; expect possible charges for rental dive gear and optional tip for guides.
Snorkeling and discover-scuba are options for beginners, but certified dives require appropriate certification and a moderate level of fitness; children should meet operator age limits.
