Lucy's Reef.

Lucy's Reef is one of the best slow drift dives in the area and the underwater landscape is comparable to Staghorn Reef. 

The reef close to the island starts at a shallow depth and then gradually slopes down to thirty meters. So this is suitable for beginner and advanced divers.

This dive site has a great diversiy of marine life from small rainbow runners, bannerfish, batfish and larger marine life like sailfish, manta rays.

If you are lucky the amazing whale sharks have been spotted at the southern end of Koh Racha Yai.

Staghorn Reef.

The largest beach on the east of the island is located at Bay 2. While it also has an abundance of coral heads and pore corals, the reef is dense with staghorn corals and branch corals - hence it's name "Staghorn Reef". The reef starts from a depth of 12 meters and slopes down to a depth of 24 meters, so perfect for all levels of divers.

On the other hand, the reef near Bay 3 consists mainly of rock and pore corals, and is separated from Staghorn Reef by a rock ridged border at the south end of the reef. The sudden change from hard coral and rocky bottom to sandy bottom is a good indication that you have entered Bay 3.

The reef area has a moderate current running north-south direction. However the bay area has no or very mild current, making it very suitable for beginner's courses.

Reef fish such as butterflyfish, angelfish, wrasse and parrotfish are common. Triggerfish are also spotted regularly and divers may get to see trumpet fish swimming by the sides of large groupers. Boxer shrimp and dancing shrimp can be found inside crevices or even inside pore coral.

On the reef slopes, yellow snapper and yellow goat fish can sometimes be seen swimming in big schools, forming a pretty yellow line on the reef when they pass. Basslets are also a common sighting especially at Staghorn reef. Take a closer look at any feather stars you pass, and you might slao see ornate ghost pipefish hiding among the fronds.

The sandy bottoms are also teeming with life. Spotted stingrays and flounders can bee seen camouflaged by burrowing in the sand, also look out for the garden eels popping out of the sand for an appearance.

Home Run.

Most of the reef is covered with hard corals like staghorn coral, brain coral and pore coral with rocks scattered in between. The steepest slope is at a depth of 12 - 15 meters with the rest ranging from 10 - 20 meters and ending gently sloping snady bottom.

The currents at Home Run are mild running north-south direction. Because this site is located at the northern end of the island, it is more affected by the tides than most others.

Reef fish such as parrotfish, butterflyfish and basslets are common. Comets are sometimes found hiding in cavities or in the spaces between branches of staghorn coral. Trumpet and cornet fish often camouflage themselves and stay close to the staghorn coral. Great barracuda are also common on this dive site.
