Koh Haa

The 12+ dive sites at Koh Haa offer beautiful scuba diving and snorkelling with spectacular visibility. Diving at Koh Haa is suitable for divers and snorkellers of all levels. Koh Haa’s scuba diving highlights include The Lagoon, The Cathedral and The Chimney. There are also underwater pinnacles, drop-offs, walls, bolders and other caverns, inter-connected chambers and swim-throughs to explore.

Koh Haa, which means ‘Five Islands’ in Thai, has a central lagoon area that is ideal for beginner divers. It offers a safe and relaxed starting point for you to take your first underwater breaths and there are some extremely friendly little Porcupine Puffer Fish, ready to make your acquaintance in the large, sandy bay area. The bay slopes gently onto the reef allowing you to progress into your first dive effortlessly.

The marine life that can be found at Koh Haa varies from rare Ghost Pipefish measuring only a few centimetres, to an abundance of Octopus hiding amongst the rocks and crevices. A Hawksbill Turtle is often seen swimming amongst the pristine coral. Manta Rays, Marble Rays, Eagle Rays and even Whale Sharks are spotted here occasionally.You can’t predict exactly what you’ll see, but it’s always a pleasant and rewarding surprise!

One of Koh Haa’s highlights is the series of caverns and swim-throughs. The largest cavern has three chambers and is known as The Cathedral. The first two chambers are connected by a shallow swim through at about 9 metres. It is possible to surface inside the Cathedral and see the limestone stalactites looming from the high ceilings.Koh Haa Island #1 (Koh Haa Nung) has the famous Chimney Cavern system and other systems to explore. You can find banded sea snakes, lionfish, nudibranches, frogfish, harlequin shrimps, many other crustaceans and beautiful cowries.

If you take a look out into the blue, you can find huge schools of silverside fish, glassfish, barracudas and travellie.The crystal-clear waters and consistent visibility of 25m+ make Koh Haa an un-forgettable scuba diving and snorkelling destination.We keep group sizes small to ensure you get the most out of each fun dive. This also reduces impact on our reefs. Our emphasis is on safety, fun and personal service within a relaxed and stress-free environment. You will find the atmosphere and service on our dive boats, beyond anything you have experienced before!

Our experienced Divemasters know the dive sites extremely well, and will be happy to discuss what you would like to see, and the type of dive or snorkel experience you would like to have. Each dive is personally planned with the divers in each group, to ensure you enjoy each and every dive you make with us.A full briefing is provided at each site, with helpful tips on what to look for, safety information, and the most interesting places to visit.

Koh Rok

The two sister-islands of Koh Rok offer beautiful diving with fabulous beaches and are suitable for divers and snorkellers of all levels.Located approximately 25km south of Ko Haa and visible on the horizon from Kantiang Bay, Koh Rok offers relatively shallow diving with abundant marine life and thriving corals in the shallower areas. The corals are among the best in the area at these dive sites.

Koh Rok is best known as the top snorkelling site around Koh Lanta, and very few dive centres offer scuba diving trips to these great sites. Our location in the South of Koh Lanta gives us great access to these little known dive sites. The islands are quite large and we are still discovering new and exciting diving opportunities at these sites.The shallow channel between Koh Rok’s twin islands reaches a maximum depth of 15 m, which makes Koh Rok a great destination for students, beginner divers and snorkellers.

The uninhabited islands of Koh Rok (Koh Rok Nai - Inner Rock, and Koh Rok Nok - Outer Rock) are part of Koh Lanta’s National Marine Park and are named after a small furry animal (called ‘Rok’ in Thai), which can occasionally be spotted on the islands. Giant Monitor Lizards (often over a metre in length!) are regularly seen on the beautiful, powder-white sandy beaches, which are among the prettiest in Thailand.

Enormous Gorgonian Sea Fans, hard corals, interspersed with many colourful, soft corals, dominate the deeper areas on the east side of Koh Rok Nok. The marine life that can be found at Koh Rok varies from abundant and colourful reef fish to Black-Tip Reef Sharks, which can be spotted, cruising past the reef and if you’re lucky you can find a Hawksbill Turtle near the beach.Koh Rok can be best described as a Coral Garden. The reef tends to slope gently downwards to a sandy bottom between 21 - 25 metres. You can expect to see plenty of Puffer Fish, Anemone fish and Snappers. If you look out into the blue, you might be lucky enough to spot an Eagle Ray or even a passing White-Tip Reef Shark.

The diving and snorkelling at Ko Rok is relaxed and scenic. There are great underwater photography opportunities and the visibility is usually superb.The spectacular twin beaches, crystal clear water and abundant wildlife, above and below the water, make for memorable day for all the family.We keep group sizes small to ensure you get the most out of each fun dive.

Hin Daeng

The dive sites Hin Daeng and Hin Muang are the deepest drop-offs in Thailand. They are world-class dive sites and provide some of the most stunning diving in the area, with a high chance of seeing Manta Rays and even Whale Sharks. From our location in the South of Koh Lanta, we can reach Lanta’s Top Dive Sites much faster than dive boats that depart from Saladan in the North of the island. Our journey time to Hin Daeng & Hin Muang is just 1 hour (compared to 4 hours by big boat from Saladan). Take a look at our High-Speed Dive Cruiser to see why.

The greater depths and currents make these sites suitable for Advanced divers or Open Water divers with 20+ dives.Hin Daeng, ‘Red Rock’, and Hin Muang, ‘Purple Rock’, are named after the beautiful red and purple corals that cover the pinnacles. Located 70km south of Koh Lanta, they boast good visibility, unless the waters become extremely plankton-rich. It is this plankton that attracts the larger marine-life and there is a high chance of seeing Manta Rays and passing Whale Sharks throughout the season.

Hin Daeng protrudes about 3 meters above the water, but below, it drops straight down to 70+ meters on the southern side. It gets its name from the beautiful red corals that populate most of the dive site. Don’t forget to look out into the blue, away from the reef, as this is where much of the action can be witnessed.There is a huge school of large Round Batfish that congregate around the buoy line, and there are often large schools of barracuda patrolling the outer reef.

We keep group sizes small to ensure you get the most out of each scuba dive you make. Small groups also reduce impact on our reefs.Our emphasis is on safety, fun and personal service within a relaxed and stress-free environment.You’ll find the atmosphere and service on our dive boats, beyond anything you have experienced before!

Hin Muang

Hin Muang is completely submerged and derives its name from the vast number of purple corals covering the pinnacle. It is also known as a cleaning station for passing Manta Rays who come here to be cleaned and use neighboring dive site Hin Daeng as a navigation point.The Hin Muang reef is 200 meters long and less than 20 meters wide, and comprises three main pinnacles and several smaller ones. There is a channel in the centre of the reef in which reef fish congregate to escape the currents that sweep along each side of the reef.

The top of the reef starts at 12m. Currents running over the top of the submerged pinnacles are usual, so we use a line for descent, safety stops and ascent. At Hin Muang and Hin Daeng dive sites, the marine-life seems to be on a larger scale than elsewhere else in the Andaman Sea. Many Giant Morays can be seen amongst the cracks and crevices and large Leopard Sharks are often found lying on the sand in the 40-meter ridges.

It’s fascinating to watch the huge schools of Yellow Snappers and Fusiliers schooling around the tops of the pinnacles while Rainbow Runners, Jacks and Travellie dart in, hoping for a quick snack. The sheer volume of fish life is an amazing spectacle to witness.Red-Tooth Trigger Fish flutter prettily amongst the the colourful soft corals, and many types of Anemone fish dance over the top of the highest pinnacles.

It’s here at Hin Muang, that the Manta Ray’s come to be cleaned by cleaner fish, darting about in the currents that sweep over the tops of the pinnacles. Facing in to the current, these graceful giants appear to hover, effortlessly while their obliging cleaners get to work on the parasites that inhabit their tough skin.Due to the greater depths and currents (especially at Hin Muang), we recommend that these dives are suitable for Advanced Open Water divers or Open Water divers with twenty dives or more.

We keep group sizes small to ensure you get the most out of each fun dive. This also reduces negative diver impact on our reefs.

These docile, nocturnal creatures are normally found lying on the sand facing into the current; they are one of only four species of shark that doesn’t need to keep swimming in order to breathe. They like to eat crustaceans, small fish and sea snakes.Surprisingly little else is known about the species, although they are believed to be closely related to the Whale Shark.

Leoaprd Sharks can grow up to 3.5 meters in length and are completely harmless to humans. Other marine life is plentiful and varied. Ko Phi Phi is one of the most diverse dive sites in the area.Most of the fish and coral species that are found in the Similans can also be found around Phi Phi. Even the elusive Whale Shark is spotted several times a year - most often at Bidah Nok.

Koh Phi Phi

With year round diving to rival the Similans, Phi Phi’s 30+ dive sites are great for beginners and experienced divers alike.Located about 22 km west of Ko Lanta, the Phi Phi Islands comprise Phi Phi Don, Phi Phi Ley, Ko Yung (Mosquito Island) and Ko Mai Pai (Bamboo Island) and offer consistently good diving, year round. Phi Phi is best known for its fabulous Sea Fans and as home of the Leopard Shark. The rugged limestone cliffs plunging into aquamarine waters make Phi Phi an unforgettable destination for holidaymakers and divers alike.

Underwater, the scenery only becomes more breathtaking. With long caves, dramatic overhangs, walls that go down to 30 m, swim-throughs, submerged pinnacles and a fabulous display of hard and soft coral, the diving around Phi Phi is varied and spectacular. You can dive the dive sites of Phi Phi day after day and continue to see new things on each new dive you make. Phi Phi tends not to have such consistently good visibility as Koh Haa, but the top dive sites; Bidah Nai, Bidah Nok and Hin Bidah are home to such a concentration of marine and coral life that divers tend not to even notice!There’s so much to see on the reefs at Ko Phi Phi and the coral is so dense and rugged that it’s sometimes hard to know where to look. We don’t encourage snorkellers to join the Phi Phi trips, as the dive sites are not so well suited to snorkelling as Koh Haa and Koh Rok.

Phi Phi is best known as home of the Leopard Shark. These docile, nocturnal creatures are normally found lying on the sand facing into the current; they are one of only four species of shark that doesn’t need to keep swimming in order to breathe.

King Cruiser Wreck

The King Cruiser was originally a car ferry in Japan before being used to transport passengers between Phuket and Ko Phi Phi. On May 4th, 1997, the ferry hit dive site Anemone Reef and quickly sank. All the passengers were rescued by nearby dive and fishing boats and there were no casualties. The steel wreck has now evolved into a fantastic natural reef and is home to a huge variety of marine life, who seek shelter within it. We make trips to the King Cruiser Wreck, Shark Point & Anemone Reef about once per week during high season.

The wreck is 85 m long by 35 m wide, and has four decks with large walkways and windows. The Wreck lies perfectly upright at 32 metres, with the captain’s cabin at 12 metres. The depth, together with the frequent strong currents, makes the diving here unsuitable for beginners.Due to the beautifully warm tropical waters, the internal structure of the boat is weakening. During the monsoon storms in 2003, part of the upper deck collapsed into the car deck and the wreck is now considered unsafe to penetrate. You can hear the boat creaking as you dive around it, which gives it a really authentic shipwreck atmosphere!

This artificial reef is completely covered in Scorpionfish (be careful where you put your fingers!) and Lionfish and is home to enormous schools of Travellie, Batfish, Pufferfish and Snappers. There is a huge Turtle that lives inside - you can often spot him as he comes towards the surface to breathe. You can also find Octopus, many types of Moray Eel and all sorts of unexpected visitors who come to see if this haven might house a tasty snack. There have been sightings of Whale Sharks, various Reef Sharks, enormous 2m Groupers and even a Bull Shark!

Shark Point

Shark Point (or Hin Musang) is a group of pinnacle dive sites that lie half-way between Koh Phi Phi and Phuket. These sites have some of the most abundant and colourful soft corals in Thailand and are home to literally thousands of fish and other marine species.The site is named after the Leopard Sharks that are often seen resting on the sand, although the Thai name comes from a mid-size rodent (somewhere between a Badger and a Squirrel) who’s shape the rocks take. The, sometimes strong, currents that sweep over the top of these submerged pinnacles bring plenty of food and nutrients, and may be one of the reasons that you can find many types of fish species that are considered rare on other Thai dive sites. In the shallows there are Orange-Spine Unicornfish and you can find many types of shy, juvenile reef fish sheltering among the pink and purple soft corals.

If you’re lucky you can find the pair of Tigertail Seahorses who’ve made their home on the main pinnacle.Huge schools of Big-Eye Travellie, many types of Fusiliers and literally thousands of Barracudas surround the reef and perform wonderful displays of schooling behaviour - an Underwater Videographer’s dream!

These pinnacles literally explode with life; the sheer density of fish and other aquatic life makes diving here a wonderful, magical experience.We keep group sizes small to ensure you get the most out of each fun dive. This also reduces impact on our reefs. Our emphasis is on safety, fun and personal service within a relaxed and stress-free environment.

Anemone Reef

Anemone Reef (or Hin Jom - Submerged Rock) is about 600m away from Shark Point. As the name suggests, this pinnacle dive site is completely covered in Anemones that gently sway in the current.There are an enormous variety of Moray Eels - from Zebra and Spot-Face Morays to Honeycombed Yellow-Edged, Undulated, White Mouth and Clouded Morays. You can also find many Lionfish and Bearded Scorpionfish on this site - the largest I’ve seen was - nearly 80cm long!

Anemone Reef is not as instantly pleasing as Shark Point as it lacks the breathtaking array of colour. However, if you’re a Macro-lover, you could get seriously into this dive site. The shimmering schools of Glassfish that coat the reef during certain times of the season can hide all kinds of tiny Crustaceans, many types of Nudibranches and enormous, glistening Tiger Cowries.

If you catch this group of dive sites on a good visibility day, you will find them among the best in the world. If the viabilityis less than perfect you will still be astounded by the sheer volume of life and action that takes place here.We keep group sizes small to ensure you get the most out of each fun dive.
