Koh Racha Yai Island is ideal for the whole family whether for snorkeling in shallow water or for scuba diving from beginner diver up to more experienced diver.
During the monsoon period from May to October, the sea on the East side of Koh Racha Yai Island is well protected from strong wind and swells and is the perfect place for snorkelers, freedivers, beginners-divers or experienced divers to dive safely in crystal clear waters to enjoy discovering abundant coral reef life, to swim throughout man-made cement blocks, to ride motorcycle wrecks for some photos and exploring one of the six shipwrecks between 18 and 30 meters depending of the divers' experience such as:
- MV Harruby - A steel dive boat shipwreck of 22 meters sunk in May 2021 on a 18-meter sandy seabed near cement blocks and the fringing coral reefs.
- Old Thai wooden fishing boat - Qeel, engine and part of the hull rest in 24-meter sandy seabed at the stern of MV Harruby.
