About Racha Yai, Waterfall Wall
Waterfall Wall is the steeper Racha Yai wall on the island's east side, where a sloping reef drops past hard coral into sand. It is popular because it blends healthy coral, easy photography, and plenty of reef fish, with occasional sharks and rays on the bottom. In calm conditions it stays approachable, but when the tide runs it becomes a more dynamic wall and drift-style dive.
