Relax Wall is a boat-access wall and reef site located in the Mergui Archipelago. The site features depths ranging from 5 to 19 metres, with an average depth of 12 metres. Visibility varies significantly, spanning 10 to 40 metres. While the current is generally mild, it can strengthen unexpectedly, requiring intermediate skill levels and close attention to conditions. Divers should maintain good buoyancy and careful fin placement to avoid hazards including stonefish, sea urchins, and entanglement risks. The site is suitable for night diving, with water temperatures typically between 27 and 30 degrees Celsius. Divers should monitor depth and gas supply closely, as currents can shift during the typical 50-minute dive.

Watch for current picks that can strengthen without much warning despite the site's mild average, so stay close to the wall and be ready to end the dive early if conditions shift. Bring reef-safe sun protection and confirm shark and jellyfish activity with your liveaboard crew before entering, as both appear on the known hazard list.
The islands are only accessible by sea, typically via liveaboard vessels departing from Thailand, such as from Chalong, Khao Lak, or Ranong.
