This dive site, located on the north western section of Racha Noi, offers a diverse underwater experience. The bay itself is remarkably calm and free from currents, making it suitable for divers of all skill levels. The area is characterized by abundant hard corals lining the rocky edges of the island. Dives often begin in the inner bay, known for its gentle conditions and lack of surge, ideal for beginners. However, be aware that the seabed gradually slopes down to 12 meters from the island's edge. This location has a rich history as a regular spot for Anglerfish (Frogfish), frequently observed hiding amongst the yellow finger coral. Manta Rays are occasionally sighted on the northern outer tip of the bay.
