Scuba diving around Koh Lanta is relatively easy. Most dive sites are in the 5m - 25m depth range where we have the most sunlight, best colours and widest diversity of marine life on the coral reefs. The dive sites, marine life and coral reefs are far more extensive, diverse and healthier in the Andaman Sea compared to the Gulf of Thailand. The perfect environment for teaching all PADI courses. Visibility at our dive sites is usually pretty good, often at least 5 - 15m around Koh Bida/Koh Phi Phi and usually more like 15 - 20m around Koh Haa for example. Sometimes visibility can be amazing, at certain times of year extending beyond 30 - 40m around Koh Haa. The easy dive sites and good underwater conditions around Koh Lanta are fantastic for teaching PADI courses, from the beginner level PADI Open Water Diver, and PADI Advanced Open Water Diver, through to the more challenging PADI Rescue Diver course.
