Thailand :: Phuket : Koh Racha Noi

Further south is Koh Racha Noi, a smaller island that also offers some good dive spots. There are two submerged pinnacles on each end of the island that are teeming with marine life. The southern pinnacle offers underwater boulders and scenery similar to that seen in the Similans, often with visibility to match. Big schools of hunting jacks and barracuda are common and if the season is right you may spot a manta ray. There are also a couplr of shallower spots around the island for the more inexperienced diver.
