Southern Sites - Koh Lanta Divesite


SOUTHERN SITES

Steep Underwater Pinnacles and Islands
Hard & Soft Corals
Sharks, Other Pelagics, Tropicals
Moderate to Strong Currents
10 to 20 Meters Visibility
Advanced Adventure Divers

insert hereSouthern Sites - Koh Ha Yai, Koh Rok, Hin Daeng and Hin Muang are the principal diving areas furthest south in Thailand literally due west/southwest from Koh Lanta.

Hin Daeng and Hin Muang are the more popular sites and rate as certainly two of the best dive sites in Thailand.


Hin Daeng is 3m clear of the surface with the southern side dropping to 60m plus. This is the steepest & deepest drop in Thailand's waters. The rock itself is quite barren but offers the opportunity to see large pelagics and fantastic underwater gardens on the shallower shelving eastern side where two ridges descend to 40m plus. Barracuda are a common sighting as well as Fusiliers.

Hin Muang is only a few hundred meters from Hin Daeng and is completely submerged. The rock, shaped like Ayres Rock (central Australia) is 20m wide and 200m long. It is covered with purple soft corals and anemones, hence it's name (Muang is purple in Thai). Many sea fans of varying colors decorate the steep sides and it has a remarkable amount of life on it compared to its neighbor.

Whalesharks, Sharks and Mantas are regularly seen around the two pinnacles enjoying the freedom that the depth of water here offers them.

Koh Lanta General Info - Indian Ocean Thailand


insert here Koh Lanta is located approximately 70 kilometers south of Krabi on the east side of Southern Thailand's Phang Nga Bay. It stretches for 27 kilometers in the north-south direction and is traversed by a mountain range that is still covered by virgin rain forest. Some of the range reaches heights of 500 meters. Crystal clear water & powdery white beaches dominate the west coast.

Any diver that wants to spend quality time visiting Southern Thailand's greatest dive sites should base themselves in Koh Lanta. Dive operators on Koh Lanta have the best access to the great Southern Dive Sites of Koh Phi Phi Koh Ha, Koh Rok, Hin Daeng and Hin Muang. Also, the 3 main dive sites around Phi Phi Islands are Shark Point, Anemone Reef and the King Cruiser Wreck, all in easy reach for dive operators based in Krabi's Ko Lanta

Koh Lanta's quiet, laid-back atmosphere offers an ideal get-away for those seeking to escape the masses of tourists that flock to Phi Phi, Phuket or Koh Samui every year. During the last years, the number of resorts along the western coast increased to about 100, offering a choice for everybody's taste. This has worked making Koh Lanta a great retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday city life.

Until recently limited access has been the major restraining factor in the growth of Krabi's tourism industry. The nearest airport was 155km to the east in Phuket and the drive on what is a rather basic road took a good two hours. But all of that has changed with the opening of Krabi Airport. Now the problem is no longer access rather accommodation.
