WHO WE ARE
We are a Scandinavian-managed PADI 5-Star IDC Center on the island of
Koh Lanta in Krabi Province, Thailand. As the only such facility on the
island, we exclusively offer the full range of PADI recreational dive
courses from beginner to Instructor. The full range of TecRec courses
are also available.
Running three dive boats allows us to schedule trips to a selection of the best dive sites in the Andaman Sea on a daily basis. We can provide divers of all certification levels exciting diving in a range of conditions. Our retail shop stocks an extensive range of major brand names and accessories, and we also have dedicated equipment-servicing facilities. Over the years we have gathered invaluable knowledge on the island's accommodation, and we now maintain a trustworthy booking service covering an assortment of styles and prices from beach hut to boutique resort.

Special attractions
- Manta rays regularly accompany divers around the two southern sites of Hin Daeng and Hin Mouang. Encounters with whale sharks are also common here. These two sites are among the best dive sites in Asia, and divers can expect to enjoy creatures from macro to majestic.
- A series of caves, caverns and swim-throughs at Koh Ha Yai. An adequate air space above the water's surface makes these suitable for divers of all experience levels.
- Wreck diving on the King Cruiser car ferry, sunk in the late 1990's, and a Japanese destroyer sunk during World War II off the island of Koh Kradan.
- Encounters with leopard sharks at Hin Bida and Shark Point Marine Sanctuary.
