    Godive’s Racha Island and Banana Beach trip is designed for Korean travellers and lets you add beginner scuba dives to snorkelling and beach time. A Korean instructor teaches breathing and safety before you dive at around 5–7m with a Thai instructor; underwater photos are included. Select the option with your preferred number of dives, and budget separately for Banana Beach admission and extra water sports.

Good to know before you book

Snorkelling and scuba are different activities. Select a diving-inclusive option for Godive’s Racha product; Bubble Bubble’s introductory itinerary lists two Racha Yai dives.

For fun diving, check the required certification for the actual site. Racha Yai, Phi Phi and King Cruiser requirements differ between operators, and equipment hire may be separate.

Open Water, Advanced and ReActivate serve different goals: initial certification, further training and refreshing existing skills. Check course days, study requirements, issuance fees, materials and accommodation terms.

Tell the operator about flights and altitude travel after the dives before filling your final holiday day with scuba. Ask the instructor for the required no-fly interval and participation terms for your actual dive plan.

Rates and availability depend on dates, guests and selected options. Check the terms on the product page.
