Discovery Scuba Diving Racha Yai: 127 USD
Description:
Koh Racha Yai is the largest of the two islands 🏝️🏝️ located off the Southeastern coast of Phuket. Different kinds of corals can be spotted here with the Staghorn coral 🌿 predominating in many areas. You will find all kinds of common tropical fish 🐠 right at the beginning of your dive. The marine life is rich and species 🐡 such as Barracuda, Tuna 🐟 and Milk Fish are usual sights. While it may be awesome to already discover the rich marine life in Racha Yai while snorkeling, diving would lead you into a whole new underwater experience. Amongst the varieties of marine life that you would be able to see, get ready to spot the hidden scorpion fish waiting to prey! Moreover the better place for diving is located on the East coast along the hard coral reef where there are shipwrecks 🛳️ and good drifts.
Many dive sites around Koh Racha Yai including Lucy’s Reef, Reef “Do little Do” where Stonefish and Batfish 🦇 may be chanced upon. Also not forgetting Marla’s mystery, a wreck that became home to morays , groupers and lionfish. On the northern end of the island, you can find two beautiful little bays. They are known for their deep clear waters and the colorful coral formations. Note that bigger can be found around Racha Yai such as turtles 🐢, leopard sharks 🦈 and manta rays but as they are not sedentary species they may or may not be there. We often spot dolphins swimming by the boat 🐬! This scuba eden has gained its reputation for its beautiful clear waters and white sandy beaches 🏖️. In fact being renowned for its great visibility while diving even during the different seasons, nothing beats learning how to dive in Racha Yai.

Discovery Scuba Diving Koh Phi Phi: 135 USD
Description:
You won't forget your Discovery scuba diving Koh Phi Phi trip! Firstly it has one of the most spectacular landscapes where the vertical cliffs of Thailand are the backdrop of the beautiful beaches. These islands became even more renowned when Danny Boyle filmed the movie ”The Beach” starring Leonardo Di Caprio in 1998.
In short the beauty and the diversity of marine life in this island have made the reputation of the archipelago. The Discover scuba diving Koh Phi Phi is a must-do activity in Phuket. The limestone rocks are where you would be able to find an outstanding variety of marine life.

Discovery Scuba Diving Kata Beach: 55 USD
Description:
Perfect for family and groups of friends 👨👩👧👧, Kata Beach is an exceptional place to stay in Phuket. Although its location is ideal for many water activities 💦, Kata Beach is one of the few unspoiled beaches in the south of Phuket Island. The beauty of its white sand and its fantastic view 🔭 makes it even more graceful and beautiful than it is by its nature. Kata Beach hosts the biggest reef in Phuket starting from the beach and ending at Koh Phu 🦀 (crab island). The reef itself is pretty shallow (2 to 12 meters) makes it ideal for snorkeling and "relaxing" diving. Kata Reef is dense and you will meet a lot of marine life 🐠 such as giant puffer fish 🐡, barracudas, scorpion fish to name but a few.
There are two resident turtles 🐢 that can be seen. Even if the reef is very near the beach, you will see an incredible variety of fauna and flora. Macro lovers 🔬 will be delighted as nudibranches are a common sight. Night diving 🌃 is great at Kata Reef where you will have a good chance to see big lobsters 🦞 and red crabs 🦀 as well as cuttlefish 🦑 and octopuses 🐙. Last but not least, many local restaurants line the sea, making it a favorite destination for lovers of tranquility and Thai food 🌶️🍽️. Its nearby jungle allows for a natural atmosphere, both in the water and on land. After your night dive, nothing beats a cocktail 🍹 at the local reggae Kata beach bar!
