About Racha Noi, South Tip
South Tip is a boat-access current reef at the southern tip of Racha Noi, built around huge granite boulders, a manta cleaning-station ridge, and steeper outer faces that drop away fast. It is one of Phuket's signature advanced dives: rewarding when the tide and flow line up, but only for divers who are comfortable reading current and following a drift-style profile.
