Dive with Local Dive Khao Lak Thailand
Charter Local Dive Khao Lak's own speedboat for your group and run north from Khao Lak to Richelieu Rock for two guided dives. The price covers the whole boat for up to 16 guests, with hotel pickup in the Khao Lak zone, lunch on board and one local guide for every four divers.
Richelieu Rock is a single pinnacle in open water, so each dive is a slow lap around one rock. Purple soft coral coats the walls, schools of trevally and barracuda work the upper reef, and the guides know which cracks hide harlequin shrimp, seahorses and ghost pipefish. With nobody else on board, your group sets the pace, the buddy pairs and how long you linger on each find.
