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.
