Diving in Koh Lanta
Koh Lanta offers all kinds of diving
adventures for all skill levels. The beautiful, shallow reef and lagoon dives
around Koh Lanta, Koh Haa and the Phi Phi Islands will mesmerize even seasoned
divers.
Underwater pinnacles like Hin Daeng and
Muang attract pelagics like manta rays and whale sharks, while sites around
Lanta, Koh Haa, Koh Rok, and the Phi Phi Islands boast plunging walls and
drop-offs covered in life.
There are also some exciting cave diving
opportunities for experienced divers, such as those at Koh Haa, in particular,
The Cathedral dive site, which is unmissable.
Many dive sites in this region are
relatively shallow, though there are some deep diving possibilities,
particularly at deeper open ocean sites.
Wreck
diving is also possible at the Kled Gaeow shipwreck, which was a Royal Thai
Navy vessel that was sunk purposely in 2014 to serve as a diving attraction.
Plus, there’s the world-famous King Cruiser Wreck, which was a passenger ferry
that sank in 1997 and is now home to a wealth of critters.
