 Snorkelling
in Koh Khai

 From
Phuket, Koh Khai is about halfway to the famous Phi Phi islands,
and can be combined with a trip there, or a day trip to the Racha
islands for some good snorkeling.

Snorkelling
in Koh Racha Yai
|
 Racha
Yai island is an excellent place for beginner divers and snorkellers
to start their diving adventures in Thailand. 1.5 hours from Phuket
the island's dive sites offer 45 to 90 feet of visibility across
hard coral gardens in the shallower waters with remarkable staghorn
coral reefs down to 90 feet.
Racha Yai Island has clean, powdery beaches like those of the Similan
Islands. On the east, at Ao Kon Kae Bay, is a coral reef where the
diving is excellent. With well preserved hard corals in both shallow
and deeper water, snorkeling and scuba diving are the favorite activities.
