Laos je morda brez dostopa do morja, vendar ponuja zanimivo sladkovodno potapljanje za pustolovske raziskovalce. Reke, rezervoarji in poplavljeni kamnolomi v bližini Vientiana in drugih urbanih središč zagotavljajo mirno okolje za rekreativno usposabljanje in sproščeno potapljanje. Vidljivost se spreminja glede na letni čas in je pogosto najboljša v sušnih mesecih, medtem ko tople tropske temperature omogočajo udobno potapljanje skozi vse leto.
Bolj izkušene potapljače privlačijo dramatične kraške pokrajine Laosa, kjer potopljene jame in sistemi z izviri ustvarjajo priložnosti za jamarsko in tehnično raziskovanje pod ustreznim vodstvom. V gorskih regijah se lahko upoštevajo višinski pogoji. Čeprav Laos ni glavna potapljaška destinacija, radovedne potapljače nagrajuje z mirnimi lokacijami, osupljivo apnenčasto pokrajino in redko priložnostjo za potapljanje v osrčju razgibane notranjosti jugovzhodne Azije.
