Ko Haa Lagoon
Ko Haa’s central lagoon area is a must-see for any diver or snorkeller visiting Ko Lanta. The crystal-clear waters make for an Underwater Photographer’s paradise and the wealth of marine life is sure to delight every visitor.
The lagoon is home to beautiful reefscapes, a beautiful large table coral covered in nervous humbug fish & many colourful reef fish such as Porky, the resident & very curious Porcupine Pufferfish, Clownfish (aka Nemo), Lionfish, Scorpionfish, Snapper, Barracuda & even Turtles.

Ko Haa Yai
One of Ko Haa’s highlights is the series of caverns and swim-throughs at Ko Haa Yai, the largest of Ko Haa's five islands. 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. The site is also home to some beautiful pinnacles that are covered in soft corals & teeming in life.

Ko Haa Neung
Ko Haa Neung, otherwise known as Ko Haa 1, is home to the famous Chimney Cavern system, a near vertical shaft reaching up towards the surface from a depth of 16m.
You can also find banded sea snakes, lionfish, schools of snapper, turtles and plenty of fascinating critters. If you take a look out into the blue, you may find huge schools of silverside fish, glassfish, barracudas and trevally.

Bida Islands
Between Ko Lanta & Ko Phi Phi are the beautiful Bida Islands. Here, rugged limestone cliffs plunge into aquamarine and underwater, the scenery becomes even more breathtaking.
You can find beautiful seafan gardens, as well as walls, overhangs & submerged pinnacles covered in corals & life. The Bida Islands are possibly most famous for their Leopard Sharks however, who can often be found cruising around the islands or taking a snooze on the sand.

King Cruiser
The King Cruiser wreck is one of the area's most famous dive sites. She sank after hitting Anemone Reef in 1997. Now, the wreck has evolved into a fantastic natural reef that is home to a huge variety & numbers of marine life, who seek shelter within it.
The wreck is 85 m long & 35 m wide, it has four decks with large walkways and windows. She lies perfectly upright in 32 metres, with the captain’s cabin at 12 metres.

Shark Point
Shark Point (or Hin Musang) is a group of pinnacle dive sites that lie half-way between Ko 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, 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. The sheer density of marin life here is certain to provide lasting memories for any diver.

Hin Muang
The Hin Muang reef is a submerged pinnacle 70km south of Ko Lanta. It 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.
Marine life at this exposed site can be truly spectacular and Manta Rays & Whalesharks frequently visit the seamount to be cleaned, providing a truly once in a lifetime experience.

Hin Daeng
Just a couple of hundred metres away lies Hin Daeng, or 'red rock'. This seamount 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 much of the dive site.
A huge amount of marine life gathers here, from rare critters such as Ornate Ghost Pipefish, to large schools of Batfish & Barracuda. The reef is often teeming with glassfish, who are constantly harried & hunted by Trevally & Rainbow Runner. Don’t forget to look out into the blue, away from the reef, as this is where much of the action can be witnessed, including the spectacular Manta Rays & Whalesharks that frequent the area.
