1 Days • Daily
Dive with Sea Bees Diving Thailand
The Racha Yai Scuba Diving Daytrip is an all-inclusive ocean excursion that takes you to Racha Yai Island, located just a 60-minute boat ride south of Phuket. Known for its clear waters and excellent 20- to 30-meter visibility year-round, Racha Yai is highly regarded as an ideal location for beginners, dive courses, and those looking to refresh their skills. At the same time, its underwater topography—featuring a collection of artificial reefs, a small shipwreck, and two buried under water scooters—offers plenty of exciting macro life and photography spots for experienced divers.
The trip takes place aboard Sea Bees’ comfortable 23-meter dive boat, Excalibur II, which features a spacious layout, a covered sundeck, and an on-board scuba bar. This day trip accommodates certified scuba divers, non-diving snorkelers, and introductory (non-certified) divers alike.
This daytrip is ideal for beginners, courses and to refresh your skills, but also offers special critters for more experienced divers. Non-certified individuals who want to dive must book the Introductory Diver option to be accompanied step-by-step by an instructor.
