How is Koh Lanta diving


Now after my internship I have been working as a DM and I love it. I'm diving a lot and gain experience in this business.


In this blog I was thinking that I will tell you about the dive sites around Koh Lanta

Koh Haa
(Five Islands)
Breath taking environment during surface intervals.
Probably one of the closest dive site from Lanta, from Khlong nin it's only 1,5 hours to get there. Many people say that they can dive there everyday. With five different islands and approximately sixteen dive sites it has a lot of variety 
Koh Haa is known for its visibility usually around 20 meters. 
The marine life 
Common reef fish for Thailand.
Travellys hunting
Macro life is good. If you dive a little bit deeper is not unusual to see dancing durban shrimps, Ornate pipefish and  nudies.
Turtles will  turn up once in awhile.
Colorful hard and soft corals.

Easy conditions so it's perfect for all levels.



Hin Daeng/ Hin Muang

Two dive sites three hours from Antigravity in the middle of the ocean. Beautiful dive sites with purple/white soft corals and orange/red soft corals, it's truly the most stunning underwater  environment around Koh Lanta. The best place to see Manta rays.
The reef is deep and the current could be strong so most of the dive shops requires advanced divers.
Marine Life 
Tons of life from macro to reef fish.
Manta rays is usually coming here for cleaning
Turtles and whale shark could also been spotted here.

Koh Wean 
(Train station)

One of my favorite dive site. Two years ago they sank this train and is now home for marine life around Koh Lanta. It's something different with the diving at Koh Wean. The train wreck is more like a hole train station with 22 wagons, rails, sign and an engine. One of the dives are an artistically reef. With 6 meters high cubes.




Marine Life 
Macro Life
Schools of snappers
And big reef fish

The wreck is on 18 m so it's OK for Ow divers.

Koh Bida
The Dive site is located next to Phi Phi here the marin life is blasting. Tons of fish and also a very good place to see both turtles and sharks. Good for al divers. Both soft corals and hard corals can be find here and if you diving at Hin Bida you have a good chance to see Leopard sharks.


Koh Rok

Stunning environment on the surface with crystal blue water and white sand. Lots of bubble coral and big sea fans. Koh Rok is an awesome place for snorkeling and is the best place to see turtles.
