The three main dive destinations we make daily trips to are:
- Ko Haa
- Ko Phi Phi
- Hin Daeng & Hin Muang |
| We can also arrange liveaboard trips to the Similan
Islands for you. These trips depart from Phuket, and noramlly last
3-4 days. |
| All trips include boat rental, equipment hire, an
experienced dive guide or Instructor, small groups, towel, lunch,
fruit juice, soft drinks, milkshake, fruit and water. Non-diving
friends and family are more than welcome to come along to swim,
snorkel, sunbathe and enjoy the day out on the boat. We normally
leave the resort at 7.50am and return at about 2.30pm - in plenty
of time to enjoy an afternoon relaxing by the pool and a cocktail
at the beach bar, while the sun sets over the horizon. |
The water temperature in the Andaman Sea ranges
between 28-32 degrees C, making diving conditions extremely pleasurable
and great place for beginners and experienced divers alike. |
| KO HAA |
| Ko Haa offers beautiful diving with spectacular visibility
and is suitable for divers and snorkellers of all levels. |
| Ko Haa’s highlights include a series of caverns and
swim-throughs. The largest cavern has three chambers. The first
two chambers are connected by a shallow swim through at about 9
m. There are also various chimneys and other cave systems to explore. |
| Ko Haa has a central lagoon area that is ideal for
beginners. It offers a safe and relaxed starting point for you
to take your first underwater breaths and there are some extremely
friendly little Porcupine Puffer Fish, ready to make your acquaintance
in the large, sandy bay area. The bay slopes gently onto the reef
allowing you to progress into your first dive effortlessly. |
| The marine life that can be found at Ko Haa varies
from rare Ghost Pipefish measuring only a few centimetres, to an
abundance of Octopus hiding amongst the rocks and crevices. A Hawksbill
Turtle is often seen swimming amongst the pristine coral. The clear
waters and consistent visibility of 25m+ make Ko Haa an un-forgettable
diving destination. |
| KO PHI PHI |
| With year round diving to rival the Similans, Ko
Phi Phi's 30+ dive sites are great for beginners and experienced
divers alike. |
| Phi Phi is best known for its fabulous Sea Fans and
as home of the Leopard Shark. The rugged limestone cliffs that
plunge into clear aquamarine waters make Ko Phi Phi an unforgettable
destination for holidaymakers and divers alike. |
| Underwater, the scenery only becomes more breathtaking.
With long caves, dramatic overhangs, walls that go down to 30 m
and a fabulous display of hard and soft coral, the diving around
Phi Phi is varied and spectacular. |
| HIN DAENG & HIN MUANG |
| Hin Daeng and Hin Muang are the deepest drop-offs
in Thailand. They are world-class dive sites and provide some of
the most stunning diving in the area, with a high chance of seeing
Manta Rays and even Whale Sharks. |
| The greater depths and currents make these sites
suitable for Advanced divers or Open Water divers with 20+ dives. |
| Hin Daeng, 'Red Rock', and Hin Muang, 'Purple Rock',
are named after the beautiful red and purple corals that cover
the pinnacles. Located 70km south of Ko Lanta, they boast good
visibility, unless the waters become extremely plankton-rich. It
is this plankton that attracts the larger marine-life and there
is a good chance of finding Manta Rays and passing Whale Sharks
throughout the season. |
| SIMILAN ISLAND TRIPS |
| The Similans Islands are considered to be one of
the top ten dive destinations in the world. Located 100 km northwest
of Phuket, the Similan Islands comprise nine granite islands covered
in tropical jungle, unspoilt white sandy beaches and the clearest
blue waters you can imagine. The islands are protected under the
Thai National Park Authority, which contributes to the magnificent
quality of colourful soft corals, fans, prolific fish life, crystalline
waters and sensational underwater rock formations. |
| Trips to the Similans are usually done by liveaboard
boat and you can book as either a diving or non-diving guest. Non-divers
can experience some of the best snorkeling in the world. Although
some diving is possible all year round, the National Park only
admits liveaboard trips during the high season, which runs from
October until May. This is also when you can expect to experience
the best diving. |
