Ko Ngai (island)  Dive Site ? Ko Lanta, Thailand.

Koh Ngai are an incredibly scenic diving destination. The topography from the surface is absolutely stunning; monolithic limestone mountains rising vertically from the sea and soaring to heights of more than 500 meters. Underwater you'll find an amazing environment of rugged caves, overhangs and swim-throughs in the soft rock. Other dives include sheer walls that plunge from the surface to over 25 meters. These walls contain a profusion of soft corals, large orange-colored fans, black corals, and long stringy sea whips.

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. We make trips to Ko Phi Phi about twice per week during high season on board our dive boat MV Go Dive.

Located about 22 km west of Ko Lanta, the Phi Phi Islands comprise Phi Phi Don, Phi Phi Ley, Ko Yung (Mosquito Island) and Ko Mai Pai (Bamboo Island) and offer consistently good diving.

The rugged limestone cliffs plunging into aquamarine waters make 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.

Phi Phi tends not to have such consistently fantastic visibility as Ko Haa, but the top dive sites; Koh Bida Nai, Koh Bida Nok and Hin Bida are home to such a concentration of marine and coral life that divers tend not to even notice!

Phi Phi is best known as home of the Leopard Shark. These docile, nocturnal creatures are normally found lying on the sand facing into the current; they are one of only four species of shark that doesn?t need to keep swimming in order to breathe. They like to eat crustaceans, small fish and sea snakes.

Surprisingly little else is known about the species, although they are believed to be closely related to the Whale Shark.

They can grow up to 3.5 meters and are completely harmless to humans. Other marine life is plentiful and varied. Most of the fish and coral species that are found in the Similans can also be found around Phi Phi. Even the elusive Whale Shark is spotted several times a year ? most often at Bidah Nok.

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. Manta Rays, Marble Rays, Eagle Rays and even Whale Sharks are spotted here occasionally. You can?t predict exactly what you?ll see, but it?s always a pleasant and rewarding surprise! If you take a look out into the blue, you can find huge schools of silverside fish, glassfish, barracudas and travellie. The crystal-clear waters and consistent visibility of 25m+ make Ko Haa an un-forgettable scuba diving and snorkelling destination.

We make daily dive trips to Ko Haa every day during high season on board our luxury dive boat MV Go Dive.

We keep group sizes small to ensure you get the most out of each fun dive. This also reduces impact on our reefs. Our emphasis is on safety, fun and personal service within a relaxed and stress-free environment. You will find the atmosphere and service on our dive boats, beyond anything you have experienced before!

Our experienced Divemasters know the dive sites extremely well, and will be happy to discuss what you would like to see, and the type of dive or snorkel experience you would like to have. Each dive is personally planned with the divers in each group, to ensure you enjoy each and every dive you make with us. A full briefing is provided at each site, with helpful tips on what to look for, safety information, and the most interesting places to visit.
