Best for intermediate divers, 8-30m, shore entry, moderate current.
Underwater Way at Koh Racha Yai features a diverse underwater landscape comprising reef, pinnacle, wall, and drift sections. Divers can explore depths ranging from 8 to 30 metres, with an average depth of 15 metres. Visibility typically spans 10 to 30 metres. The site is subject to moderate currents, which can shift quickly, requiring solid buoyancy control. Water temperatures remain between 28 and 30C, though thermoclines may occur at depth. Due to the potential for strong currents and boat traffic, divers should monitor their position against the reef and use a surface marker buoy during ascent. This site is best suited for intermediate divers.

Plan your dive around slack tide if possible, as the current can become challenging when running at full strength, particularly near the wall and deeper pinnacle sections. Check locally for current conditions on the day, as they can shift quickly in the Andaman Sea.
