Racha Yai is the larger of the two Racha Islands and the one closest to Phuket. A tropical dream island above water, once submerged, it offers crystal-clear waters and gently sloping hard coral fields, perfect for relaxing drift dives. Hard corals are predominant here, along with an incredible abundance of fish. Colorful parrotfish, yellowtail and red snapper, and large groupers are regular visitors. Divers of all skill levels can dive and have fun in Racha Yai. Several bays are excellent for snorkeling, making this island ideal for the whole family.

Shark Point is located about 1.5 hours east of Phuket, only recognizable by a piece of rock jutting out of the sea. The three reefs – covered with soft corals, sponges, fan corals, and hard corals – have been declared a nature reserve due to their abundance of fish and are among the most famous diving spots around Phuket. In addition to various species of moray eels, lionfish, surgeonfish, and butterflyfish, you’ll find seahorses and the harmless but very elegant leopard sharks, from which Shark Point takes its name.

The world-famous Phi Phi Islands (Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Le) are located 40 km southeast of Phuket and can be reached by boat in about three hours. They are arguably among the most beautiful islands in the world. The Phi Phi Islands offer many excellent dive sites with depths between 15 and 25 m and visibility of 10-30 m. The two small rocky islands of Koh Pida Nai and Koh Pida Nok offer fantastic conditions for exciting dives. Above all, the islands offer several cave dive sites and many impressive wall dives. There are also countless hard and soft corals and abundant marine life. In the tropical reefs of these islands, you can see whitetip reef sharks, leopard sharks, stingrays, sea snakes, turtles, and moray eels, among many other fish.

In May 1997, the 85-meter-long and 25-meter-wide ferry “King Cruiser” ran aground on the Anemone Reef and sank. Fortunately, all passengers were rescued, and the reef itself suffered no major damage. It sits upright on the sandy bottom at a depth of 31 meters, and its many superstructures are clearly visible. In recent years, a wide variety of fish have appeared, including barracudas, lionfish, pufferfish, and porcupinefish, as well as large schools of fusiliers and mackerel. Over the years, the wreck has become an absolute delicacy for divers. For many divers, this experience is the absolute highlight of their vacation.
