The Rock dive site is located between the two superb Islands of Ko Racha Noi and Ko Racha Yai. The spot features several rock boulders making it an interesting place to explore with great marine life and big school of fishes and pelagic fishes hunting around. Maximum depth is around 55 meters deep and the current can sometimes be strong so this site is more suitable for advanced divers. Be careful this is not an easy Phuket dive site and it is rare to dive it.

This location is a Reef. This is great place for spotting and diving with Sharks!

You can dive The Rock all year long. Access: from the Shore. See the map of The Rock on the right for the exact location.
