Dive sites around PhuketStill part of Phang-Nga province, about 45km East of Phuket, Koh Phi Phi islands has a large number of limestone dive sites covered in coral with some fun swim throughs and beautiful Gorgonian seafans make a perfect photo prop!
Watch out for Leopard and black tip reef sharks often seen in the area! Racha Yai, Racha Noi and King Cruisers are other options we can explore. |
Koh Lanta National ParkKoh Haa, Hin Daeng and Hin Muang make up the Koh Lanta National Marine Park.
Koh Haa (number 5 in Thai language) is a group of 5 islands sitting together between Hin Daeng and Phi Phi and is part of the Ko Lanta National Marine Park. We may dive Ko Haa Lagoon, Ko Haa Neua, and Ko Haa Yai where we may pass through more swim-throughs and encounter plenty of marine life from small to big: Seahorses and ornate ghost pipefish will make macro maniacs happy, morays eels, octopus, hawksbill turtles, and marble rays will entertain everyone and if you are lucky you might even meet a leopard sharks or an Oceanic Manta ray! Hin Daeng & Hin Muang are two pinnacles in the open ocean, surrounded by deep waters. The visibility on these two sites is usually excellent and the dramatic underwater landscape makes a perfect setting for the many creatures we come to encounter here. The main attraction here are pelagic sightings such as manta ray and whale shark but the site has plenty of things to see beside the gentle giants such as schools of barracudas, millions of fusiliers, cuttlefish, bluefins trevally, snappers and more. |

Tarutao National Marine Park in the southern Thailand territory of Satun counts over 70 islands (the Butang bunch).
Not far from the Malaysian border, and only 30 nautical miles north of Langkawi, this preserved territory is pretty undiscovered. Koh Lipe is the only inhabited island, home to the Chao Ley ( a tribe of Sea Gypsies), a few resorts and many types of birds. It is surrounded by white sand beaches and beautiful dive sites. |
