Why dive here
With 173+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, whale sharks and clownfish - Racha Yai, Waterfall Wall offers some of Similan Islands's richest wall diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
Racha Yai’s Waterfall Wall isn't a deep dive, peaking at 17 meters, which makes it a really comfortable spot for newer divers finding their fins. We usually drop in here for a relaxed afternoon, letting the gentle current (if there is one) push us along the wall. You'll find plenty of cleaner shrimp busy at work, and we've often spotted pufferfish tucked into crevices. It’s a nice, easy dive to get comfortable, especially if you’re just starting out in the Similans.
