You will quickly discover that Dive and Relax sits atop of the Trip Advisor index for a good reason. They are simply outstanding with a personal touch that I have never experienced anywhere else in the world. The owner, Cameron, has assembled a team of dive masters that truly have their act together. (Rhi and Oh, thank you so much... More

My partner Jill, and I booked a two week holiday at Ko Lanta resort specifically to dive as much as possible! We have both attained BSAC advanced levels during our thirty years of diving. In the past, we would normally dive on club expeditions - not as tourists. Therefore, I admit we do not like to dive with large groups... More

Cameron and the team at Dive & Relax provided an excellent service. All aspects of the diving were well looked after, from the initial booking and airport transfers, boat journeys, getting kitted up, divemasters, etc. Having dived with numerous dive companies around the world, I would rate Dive & Relax as among the best.

I just returned from a trip to Koh Lanta Thailand in April 2012 and was fortunate enough to book diving with Dive & Relax. It is always a bit of a crap shoot when booking a dive operator, but through Trip Advisor and reviews of the various other operators on the island I chose Dive & Relax and was not... More

We found this company recommended in a British diving magazine. I was initially very nervous about taking my first ever dive but had a lot of contact with Cameron at Dive and Relax before we got to Koh Lanta and he was very reassuring. He also said if I started the open water course and decided it wasn't for me... More

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Lanta Castaway Resort where we also did our open water dive course at Dive & Relax. We enrolled into their Open Water Dive course which was outstanding, because Cameron and the team at Dive and Relax understand what it takes to to become a successful diver, they bring in the right instructors (really...

To be quite frank ... this dive base is extremely professional and really lives up to its name "dive & relax". The guides / instructors are superb, the pre- and after-diving support is excellent: Once you dump your gear at the base you will never have to worry about it, as for every trip you will already find it in...
