Bungalow Bay is a sheltered Racha Yai reef bay with a gentle slope, coral patches, and sandy breaks that suit easy reef dives and training runs. The site splits into shallow bay sections and a more structured wall, so divers can start relaxed and then work a little deeper without a demanding profile. It is usually run as a boat dive from Phuket-side operators, and the main planning issues are boat traffic, weather exposure, and surface control. Calm days also make it a workable snorkel stop.

Boat access only; not a shore-entry resort dive.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Boat dives here work well as a shallow bay pass or a slightly deeper wall run, so the site fits training, check-outs, and relaxed reef dives.
Snorkeling
Calm bay sections make snorkeling practical on low-wind days, especially along the shallower coral and sand breaks.
