Koh Lanta Scuba Diving

Avoid The Crowds: Small Groups, Great Personal Service

Koh Lanta scuba diving in small groups with a focus on great personal service, safety and fun.

Join our high-season dive trips from Koh Lanta to some of the most spectacular islands, coral reefs and best dive sites in Thailand.

Departing from the beach each morning at 9 am, our speed boats carry a maximum of 10 diving guests, plus our super dive staff to some of Koh Lanta's best dive sites.

Enjoy our 5-star service and let some of the most experienced, friendly and professional dive instructors on Koh Lanta take care of you while you just sit back, dive and relax...

Save Valuable Holiday Time

Sleep late and take advantage of a 9 am beach departure, short journey times, and an early afternoon return to Koh Lanta with plenty of time to explore the island or relax on the beach after diving.

Most dive boats depart from the piers in Saladan village on the north of the island. Unlike the other dive operators, however our boats depart from the south end of Long Beach.

Journey times to Koh Haa are just 30 minutes from our dive shop @ Lanta Castaway Beach Resort, and as little as 60 - 70 minutes to Hin Daeng & Hin Muang, depending on sea conditions.

If you have any questions about diving from Koh Lanta, please email us at info@diveandrelax.com and we'd love to help you plan a trip to our wonderful island.

More time diving & relaxing, less time travelling to and from the dive sites each day...

Koh Lanta Diving: Discover Wonderful Marine Life

Koh Lanta is a scuba diving paradise, home to some of Thailand's most spectacular islands, healthy coral reefs, and a huge diversity of marine life.

Lanta's diving is easy and relaxed, with relatively shallow reefs, sheltered lagoons, walls, and gentle drop-offs.

You'll also find many of Thailand's best dive sites in the Koh Lanta Marine Park, including the Koh Haa Islands, the Koh Rok Islands, and the famous Hin Daeng & Hin Muang.

Our Koh Lanta Marine Life Guide contains photos and descriptions of hundreds of species of fish, corals, and other amazing creatures we've spotted at our dive sites.

After returning from a trip, our dive staff love to spend time with our guests, logging the dives and sharing our knowledge of the wonderful marine life at the dive sites around Koh Lanta.

Scuba Skills Refresh

We understand that those who have not dived for a while might feel a little anxious about getting back into the water.

Even for those who are more confident divers, if you've not been diving for a while, you'll enjoy improved buoyancy, air consumption, and confidence in the water after a light scuba skills refresher on Koh Lanta with our experienced dive staff.

We conduct the scuba skills refresher at the beginning of the first dive to help ease you back into the water.

We'll also include a quick theory review and extended dive briefing to make everything as smooth as possible, and ensure that you have the best possible dives around Koh Lanta.

For those who have not dived in a long time, or who are feeling less confident in the water, we can provide a full scuba skills review in confined water the day before diving from the boat.

Nitrox Diving on Koh Lanta

For Enriched Air certified divers, we have 32% Nitrox available at 250 Baht per tank during the high-season here on Koh Lanta.

If you're not already a Nitrox certified diver, it's really easy to add the PADI Enriched Air Nitrox course here on Lanta to a 2 tank dive trip while you're diving with us.
