Rayong is the perfect place for beginners learning how to scuba dive; for students who plan to take their open water test out in the sea and also for people who wish to refresh their scuba diving skills because the sea in Rayong is relatively shallow and its water current is just right as it is not strong. Boating traffic in this area is also relatively low and each destination is only a short boat ride away from each other. There are many dive sites in the area, you can experience lots of colorful soft corals at a dive site called “Japanese Garden”. For those of you who like big fish, you may get a chance to encounter schools of barracuda and if lucky, even the whaleshark, which is every diver’s dream to see, at least once in a lifetime, at a dive site called Hin Pleung (Alhambra Rock). At the dive site called Hin Saphan, there are many schools and species of fish and also a chance to encounter the green turtle. Finally, at the dive site of “Sand Terrace” you will get a chance to find the rare sawblade shrimp, sea horse, different species of nudibranchs and the giant sea sponge.
