The reefs in this region are home to a variety of larger marine life, including sharks and sea turtles. During certain times of the year, you may also have the opportunity to encounter whale sharks during safari trips to the Similan Islands.

In the deeper sections and around wreck sites like King Cruiser, the focus shifts to structure-dwelling species. You will find a variety of fish species navigating the corridors of the wreck and the surrounding reef walls.

The diving in this area is characterised by a variety of environments, from the calm, sheltered bays of the Racha Islands to the more open waters of the Similan Islands. Current levels can vary significantly depending on the specific site and the tide.
