The boat slips away from Chalong Pier before dawn, engines low and the horizon already silver. Salt air and coffee mix as dive briefings roll out on deck; groups are small and instructors deliberately deliberate, walking you through weight checks and buddy procedures before you step off the ladder into warm Andaman water.

The Racha islands sit on the southern flank of Phuket — volcanic outcrops and steep coral slopes sculpted by currents that funnel nutrients and feed bright reef fish. Racha Noi’s sheltered walls favor dense coral gardens and schooling batfish, while Racha Yai’s east coast offers stronger currents, occasional wrecks and bigger pelagics. These islands have long been part of local fishing routes and today are popular for day-boat diving because of consistent visibility and accessible sites.
Expect three guided open-water dives: two generally at Racha Noi (calmer reef, macro and coral scenery) and a third at Racha Yai (deeper channels, possible wreck sections). Typical sightings include barracuda, cuttlefish, octopus, reef fish and occasional green turtles. Weather and tides shape the plan; operators adjust sites or order depending on sea state.
Practical guide: arrive with current certification and logbook, bring seasickness meds if you’re sensitive, and rent or bring a dive computer to track no-decompression limits. The day includes breakfast, lunch and snacks onboard; hotel pickup and drop-off from major Phuket beaches is usually provided. Hydrate before the trip, layer a thin wetsuit for early morning chill, and respect no-touch rules to protect recovering corals. With competent supervision and basic buoyancy control, a diver can refresh skills and log a productive, scenery-rich day in the Andaman.
Yes — this is a refresher for already certified divers; you’ll need to present your dive certification card (C-card) and a logbook if available.
That’s the trip’s target audience: instructors will review skills, conduct shallow refresher exercises, and tailor the day to your comfort level.
Yes — standard full dive kit (BCD, regulator, wetsuit, fins, mask) plus breakfast, lunch, snacks and bottled water are usually included.
Occasional sightings of larger pelagics happen but aren’t guaranteed; the Racha sites are better known for clear reefs, wreck features and a variety of reef fish.
