For onward travel around Southern Thailand to Koh Tao, Koh Samui, Khao Lak and Phuket, we can organise additional diving trips with our other dive centre partners.
Koh Lanta is an all-year destination for scuba divers. No matter the time of the year there is always some good diving to be enjoyed. However, the main diving season here is similar to the main tourist season in around Koh Lanta
Usually, the best conditions for diving around Koh Lanta are from November to April.
This is the time of the year when there is the least chance of rain and storms. The sea is mostly flat, the sun is shining and the water is a beautiful blue.
Boat trips welcome both divers and snorkelers around Koh Lanta.
Lanta Diver also welcomes snorkelers to join one of the dive boats at Koh Haa and Koh Bida! making sure you get the most out of your day, we always provide a divemaster as a snorkel guide to assist and show the exciting things to see.

Boat departure from the Lanta Diver Pier in Saladan
All year round the boats depart from our own pier in Saladan.
The boats from Saladan, Koh Lanta, usually leave at 8 am in the morning, and the big boats are back at around 5 pm (if 2 dives around 4 pm).
Our speedboat is usually back from around 2 pm to 3 pm, depending on how many dives and which dive site.
Boat departure from Diving at Pimalai jetty
During high season we run dedicated speedboat trips from the Pimalai Jetty (weather permitting) that depart and return to Pimalai. Pimalai Resort & Spa is located in the south of Koh Lanta in the Kantiang area.
The speedboat would depart from Pimalai at 9 am and would be a 2-dive trip with a return time of between 1 pm and 2 pm depending on the site. The confirmation of these trips will depend on the number of customers at a specific site on a given date.
Contact us directly for the daily dive trip schedules.
How to see the whale shark
For some reason, the whale sharks tend to appear on the third dive. So when going on diving trips in Thailand, we recommend you go for the third dive!
For those who find two dives are enough, don’t worry; snorkeling or even a little sleep on the sun deck is available as an alternative to the third dive.
Snorkeling trips with Lanta Diver
As snorkelers on Lanta Diver boats, we think safety is as important as when diving. That means that we always have a snorkel briefing. We always have a dedicated snorkel guide who will assist you in the water and point out fascinating things.
In the water, the snorkel guide will show you the best the underwater world has to offer and, of course, try to find the whale shark! There will be a maximum of between 7 and 8 snorkelers per snorkel guide, and we try to match snorkelers with a similar level of experience if possible.
We have life jackets even for small children and a buoyancy aid where you can rest if you get tired.
IMPORTANT! – Flying After Diving
When planning onward travel from Khao Lak, please note that PADI and SSI recommends a minimum interval of 18 hours after making multiple dives.

Scuba Diving in Hin Daeng or Hin Muang boasts the deepest drop-offs in the country! It is no surprise why divers from all over the world come to Koh Lanta— especially to dive into these two sites. These giant pinnacles, located in the middle of the South Andaman Sea, offer dramatic underwater scenery, with steep walls covered in red and purple soft corals, dropping right down to 60 m plus. Diving Hin Daeng / Hin Muang has it all, and we can offer you the chance of a lifetime to experience these beautiful reefs.
The Kled Keaw Wreck is a dive site to the east of Koh Phi Phi Leh. Diving Kled Kaew Wreck is a deep dive that is suited for advanced divers. Originally built for the Norwegian Royal Navy in 1948, it was later acquired by the Royal Thai Navy and the Coastal & Marine Resource department to create an artificial reef.
Sunk in 2014. Kled Keaw, an oasis in the middle of the ocean, is teeming with both big and small marine life. Schools of pelagic fish gravitate towards the wreck in search of an easy meal. Smaller tropical fish find refuge in its many nooks and crannies, while macro species cover the structure.
Divers have occasionally encountered sharks, turtles, and rays at the Kled Kaew Wreck. The wreck is 47m long and 8m wide and sits at a maximum depth of 26m. The top of the wheelhouse is around 14 m, and below the wheelhouse, there are two further decks to explore. Diving Kled Keaw Wreck gives you one wreck dive and one dive at the reef Hin Klai.
Hin Klai reef is a small submerged pinnacle to the east of Phi Leh. Divers often combine one dive at Hin Klai with another dive at the Kled Kaew wreck. The top of the pinnacle is 6m, dropping down to between 13m and 17m.
The site is covered in huge rocks with a wide variety of corals, including anemones, staghorn corals, and gorgonian fans. There are schools of snapper, and you have a decent chance of seeing leopard sharks and stingrays.
Yes, there is a train wreck outside Koh Waen, a small, uninhabited island south of Koh Lanta.
Marine life consists of schools of fish like snapper and barracuda. Overhangs, outcroppings, and caverns provide shelter for glassfish and different species of nudibranchs. There are also intriguing cave systems and swim-throughs.
The Koh Rok islands are the paradise islands everyone is searching for—soft, white, sandy beaches and lush green trees combined with crystal-clear waters.
For many years, Koh Rok has been a popular snorkeling destination; now we offer you the opportunity to dive around the islands! The dive sites around Koh Rok are suitable for all levels of divers.
