Ray Bahn dive site is located at the Southern tip of Racha islands about 2h30 minutes by boat from Phuket Island. Here you can find various species of reef Sharks as well as many Stingrays and Eagle Rays. If you lucky it is also possible to encounter a Manta Ray and a Whale Shark! The soft coral is very beautiful and there are many superb Sea fans. However, the current can be very strong in this area and this dive site is reserved to experienced divers only. Moreover always check the diving conditions and plan your dive carefully before jumping in the water! Maximum depth is around 40 meters deep. The best season for Manta Rays is January and February.
You can dive Ray Bahn all year long. Access: from the Shore. See the map of Ray Bahn on the right for the exact location.
