Multicoloured parrot fish, yellow tailed snappers and cheeky trigger fish are common residents. All levels of diver experience can enjoy these warm waters.

Racha Noi
Similarly named although in Thai - Yai means big and Noi means small. Further 30 minutes from the sister island, the sites here can be more demanding but the rewards are certainly worth it. These waters are the playground for gamefish such as sailfish and barracuda. Manta rays, stingrays, reef- and leopard sharks are also regular playmates.
.

Sharkpoint
Only 90 minutes east of Phuket, this popular divesite is marked by a lone rock that breaks the surface on the northernmost point of 3 submerged rock formations. Docile leopard sharks, soft corals, hard corals, gorgonian sea fans and sponges are the main attractions. Inquisitive juvenile moray eels are normally seen as well.

Anemone Reef
Situated within sight of Sharkpoint approximately 300 meters north, this submerged pinnacle is covered with an array of colourful soft corals and sea anemones dotted with clown fish.Also home to leopard sharks, small groupers and schools of barracudas with curtains of surgeons, moorish idols and angelfish.

Koh Doc Mai

Flower island, 1 hour east of Phuket is an oblong shaped boulder with sheer cliffs extending to the seabed . Idyllic deep wall and drift dives. The underwater cliffs are covered with marine flora, from soft and hard corals to sea fans and sponges. Black and white banded sea snakes and giant barracuda are regular dive buddies.

The King Cruiser Wreck
On the 4th May 1997 this 85 meter catamaran sank. The passenger ferry hit the top of Anemone Reef en route to Phi Phi island. All 600 plus passengers were saved by nearby fishing boats. An ideal wreck dive with the top deck of the boat at 12 meters and sitting upright on the seabed at 30 meters. Wide passage ways and open passenger decks make this a very safe and enjoyable wreck dive for all levels of diver experience. Marine life such as glasseye fish, batfish, lionfish are settling in nicely and just recently larger gamefish have also decided to move in.

Phi Phi Islands
Situated slightly more than 2 hours due east of Phuket, these picturesque group of islands consist of limestone cliffs above the water and colourful walls of soft corals below. Shoals of snappers, angelfish, butterfish are found in abundance around this underwater wonderland. Leopard sharks and other pelagics are also commonly seen. Possible sightings of whale shark and manta rays.
