Racha Noi Dive Sites - Marita's Rock
The site is formed from granite rock and is located on the west side of the island mid way down. The dive can begin in the bay, which has some hard coral formations with a rubble bottom, look closely and many peacock mantis shrimps can be found, also cuttle fish camouflaging themselves with the bottom.
When you exit the bay where the depth is around 12m there is a change in the topography, large boulder formations appear with a steeper drop off.
About 20m away from the island wall there is a pinnacle starting about 24m which contains many swim throughs formed by the he granite boulders resting on each other. Look on the sand for pyramid boxfish, cow fish and pipe fish as you cross over to this area.
Along the reef giant puffer fish, fusiliers, moray eels and numerous nudibrachs and flatworms can be found. Again look out to the blue occasionally as Manta rays do travel this site occasionally.
