This dive site is located south of Camera Bay, part of a region on Racha Not Island known for its granite rock formations. These rocks extend from the hillside down into the water, creating numerous swim-throughs. The area features a large single rock structure extending from the hill to the sea, and just outside Marina Bay lies Marita’s Rock, a substantial rock formation rumored to be a manta ray feeding station. Currents can be strong near the bay, although deeper waters offer protection. Manta rays are frequently observed in this area, particularly between December and March. The dive site offers a unique opportunity to explore underwater rock formations and potentially encounter these magnificent creatures.
