Near 22M offshore in Number One Bay lies a shipwreck, the most popular dive site in Racha Yai. Swimming from the shallows to the wreck, careful inspection of scattered rocks may reveal colorful creatures such as Ornate Ghost Pipefish, Frogfish, and Chromodoris nudibranchs. The sandy bottom hosts many unique animals like Razorfish, Y-bar Goby, and garden eels, making it a photographer’s delight. Although the wreck is deteriorating, its age has allowed fish to settle abundantly. Striped Snapper gather around the wreck, and many shrimps such as Scarlet Cleaner Shrimp, Banded Coral Shrimp, and Sexy Shrimp hide inside. Depending on currents, dives often proceed from this wreck towards Home Run Reef. A newly placed wreck between Number One and Number Two Bays is frequently used for advanced or specialty courses. Concrete artificial reefs from around 18M lead to a medium-sized wooden fishing boat at 25M.

"Staghorn" refers to "deer antlers." This long reef stretches from Bay No.2 to Bay No.3, named for its branching coral formations that resemble antlers. The branching corals are exceptionally beautiful, forming an underwater "forest" teeming with marine life, providing endless fascination on every dive. Large groupers and endemic Indian Ocean species like coralline butterflyfish and Roland damselfish swim through the forest, and occasionally a Napoleon wrasse appears. Popular anemonefish such as clownfish and skunk anemonefish can be seen, as well as colorful mantis shrimp peeking from coral rubble nests. During the rainy season, manta rays may appear offshore, surprising divers. When currents are strong, divers can drift from Bay No.2 to Bay No.3, creating a sensation of flying over the coral forest. Diving experiences differ significantly depending on the presence or absence of currents.
