Koh Haa is accessed from Koh Lanta (30 minutes by speed boat, 2 hours by larger, slow boat) and is suitable for all levels of diving.
Conditions are usually good and the geography of the islands means that even if the wind is blowing and the seas are rough, there is always a sheltered area to be found.

Koh Lanta also offers many snorkeling opportunities - great for junior divers and family snorkeling trips, though less suitable for infants and older people as there is generally no direct access to the shore.

It can be beneficial to dive on smaller boats to avoid the crowds – these have more flexibility and often dive parts of the islands less frequented by the larger dive boats.
