Boat dive with a shallow coral start, gradual slope, and enough current to drift when conditions line up; good for newer divers and snorkelers.
About Staghorn Reef
Shallow east-side Racha Yai reef with a coral-lined slope, coral heads, and a boat-dive feel that works well for newer divers. Staghorn Reef has a shallow start, good fish life, and drift-friendly windows when the tide runs, so it rewards divers who can stay relaxed and read the current. It is also a workable snorkel spot on calmer days when the bay is settled.
