Marina Bay
Marina Bay is on the western side of Racha Noi, just south of Camera Bay. Granite boulders follow the contour of the land underwater and create many swim-throughs; the bay is deeper than most but well protected from passing currents. Just outside lies Marita's Rock, a massive rock structure reputed to be a manta cleaning and feeding station, with sightings especially from December to April. Schools of fusiliers, parrotfish, snappers, trevally and stingrays are also seen.
