I went on a one day trip to go to Hin Muang, Hin Daeng & Koh Haa # 5 for one dive in each location. The places are a bit farther away (~ 1.5 h by boat from Koh Lanta) and therefore, the trip costs a bit more. To me, Hin Muang & Hin Daeng are absolute must’s when in Koh Lanta. The bright colors of the reefs and the massive amount of diverse fish life is breathtaking. I’ve never seen anything like this. The boat ride was also very comfortable and unlike what I’ve expected from what I read on the internet (a lot if waves) but I might have been lucky.
Special thanks to my guide Jenny who was very helpful at any time and on top of that a sympathetic and interesting person :)

We spent two marvellous days diving with the Andaman Dive Adventure. The organistion was more than perfect, the crew and dive masters were very compentent and put a lot of effort to make our exprience truly unforgetable.
As for the details: contact with dive center was really quick and profesional from the very begining. Diving gear as well as the boat itself were in very good condition and there was also a good supply of drinks and food available for divers during the day trips to keep you fresh and satisfied throughout the day. Yet the most important for us was that each divemaster was guiding a group of no more than two people, so every diver could get as much attention as he needed and there was no chaos or traffic under the water.
We definitely recommend this dive center (&turtles)!

Joined Andaman Dive Adventure for 3 days of diving. Lisa, Lee and their teams were absolutely amazing. They were attentive, caring and a bunch of fun. Honestly one of the best dive experiences I've had. Our group of three had 7 dives each including several islands and a wreck dive with more sea life than you can count.
The boat staff were attentive and professional. The boat was clean and overall a truly fantastic experience.
I would recommend this dive shop to divers of any level from beginner on wards.
Thanks again for your great work!

I had a really great time diving with Andaman! Personally did my advanced course here and couldn’t have had a better instructor. She (Astrid) helped me get confident in the water and really improved my diving skills. She was so calm and patient with me and her enthousiasm was really great. Everything we had discussed prior of coming to Koh Lanta was arranged by Lisa. She also responded very fast on e-mails and the contact was perfect! My girlfriend who is much more experienced than I am was also very happy with Andaman. All in all this dive experience was really a 5 star experience and we would recommend it to everybody!

Where normally you expect great sun and calm water, we had a different day out with the diving crew of Andaman. Although with a small group, we felt secure all the way and were informed of any changes in the dive sites due to the strong windy and rainy weather. The crew was very helpfull in the moments where it was necessary, you instantly notice the experience they have, next to some great stories they tell.
I defintely recommend this diving crew for your adventures. Just hope you have better weather than we did....

I did my Advanced Open Water Diver Certification with the Andaman Dive Adventure Team. I came here on recommendation and now want to pass the word. Safety is here on top of the list, equipment is state of the art, groups are small (3 to max. 4 people per guide). I had the luck to have Chris Facey all to myself for most of the course and fun dives afterwards. If you would google “Perfect dive instructor” Chris’ profile should come up first. Chris will make you feel comfortable from the first second on and will guide you well informed and safe through your underwater adventure. The dive spots are beautiful. I have been to Koh Ma and Koh Bida, especially Koh Ma was impressive. The school owns its own boat where you will be served breakfast and lunch, which I really enjoyed. The dive spots are like 1 or 1.5h away, but it’s is definitely worth the drive.
Thanks also to Lisa and Lee for the organization behind the scenes.
To sum it up: Don’t think twice if you want to dive from Koh Lanta, stick with Andaman Dive Adventure.

We had a tremendous experience with the team at Andaman Dive. They were really well organised, very helpful, really nice to deal with and most of all experienced and safe. We would recommend them to anyone wanting to learn to dive off Koh Lanta. A special mention has to go to Chris, our instructor. He was really thoughtful, encouraging and easy to learn from. He was a superb teacher and a lovely guy too. Chris made the whole experience really easy. A big shout out also goes to Bart who took us on our last two dives. He really came up trumps….. on our last dive we swam within a couple of metres of a whale shark! What a result, a great memory to take away.

This February, I came for the fourth time to Lanta to dive with ADA, where I had earlier obtained my Advanced OW and Enriched Air. The Center still demonstrates truly five-star standards of its service, thanks to the efforts of Lisa to large extent. The Center offers rapid transfer from/to hotels, beautiful dive sites, good equipment, comfortable boat, nourishing breakfasts and lunches with fruits and drinks. The attitude of instructors and boat’s crew is always friendly and constructive. Lee helped me buying some equipment. Because of the 5-year pause in diving, I have passed a refresher exam and training in a pool that was instructively performed by Peter. Unfortunately, the skill in buoyancy was partially lost. Lisa kindly provided me with a personal guide for some time to restore this capacity. That was Corinna. She is a surely first-class teacher, very carefully monitoring the state of divers and their gear. In addition, she is an observant competent naturalist revealing many unobtrusive animals and showing them with her torch. During filling in a Log, she asked to list the most interesting objects in a “Comment” section and helped their identification with illustrated books.
Again, I am much grateful to the team of Andaman Dive Adventure and highly recommend this Center to other divers.

Left Koh Lanta on 06th Mar 2020 and the world turned up-side down soon afterward.
I was wondering how the island has been doing since travelling has returned. So I made a light and short trip around Lunar New year with no scuba equipment except mask and dive computer in my pack.
I have done four days of diving and the rental equipment was fine and never had any issue. Weather was good except a heavy down pour of very short period in one afternoon when I set out the 3rd dive.
Unfortunately the visibility was awful(same as my trip) for the first 3 days and even missed a chance meeting of a whaleshark. I was merely 5m behind my guide and buddy but failed to spot it. Never mind as I have seen the gentle giant on several occasions before.
All in all it was great to be back to the Island. Koh Lanta still retains certain degree of charm and rustic which should appeal to certain type of tourists.
Looking forward to another trip to the island and diving with ADA.

Hi Fong,
Was lovely to see you again, sorry you missed the whaleshark. I know how easy it is to get distracted by our other marine life!
Hopefully next season we can put you in the same place as the whaleshark with better visibility.
Warm regards,
Lisa

We had a great time diving with ADA. The whole team and crew were super nice and professional and we felt very safe diving in small groups and saw lots of wildlife. A good breakfast and great lunch (even for vegetarians) were provided on the boat (which is a bit slow but offers a lot of space for lounging and eating). The handling of the equipment onboard is very convenient for divers diving with air since they have a compressor on board and just refill bottles on the boat (so no changing bottles between dives) and they also offer Nitrox which is great (ofc then you have to change bottles).
Prices were very reasonable especially when you bring your own gear and we would definitely come back to dive with them again.

Hello, i'm visiting ko lanta in july. Last year i had 2 dives @sailrock koh phangang what was great and 2 near ao bang wat whas not realy worth the effort. What kind of dive trip do you recommend during my stay/visit? Im a certified advanced en wreck specilty diver form Holland.
Written February 9, 2020
Hi Jan Kees,
In juli is ons regenseizoen, dan is het beter om naar de andere kant van Thailand, zoals Koh Tao, Koh Phangan and Koh Samui te gaan. Onze marine parken van Koh Ha, Hin Daeng en Koh Rok zijn dan gesloten. Alleen de Bidas en Phi Phi zijn dan open. Groetjes, Lisa

Hi, I plan to travel to Ko Lanta next year and I would really like to do
my first ever dive through Andaman Dive Adventure. I'm intrigued to
know if transfer is also available from Saladan Pier? In addition,
is a 1 day dive package requires booking an accommodation
in Ko Lanta or booking an accommodation in Krabi is enough?
Written November 16, 2019
Hi Iddop,
We do provide transfer from most hotels on Koh Lanta. Yes you would need to find accommodation. As unless you take a private taxi it is impossible to leave the island when we arrive back from diving, as all public transport stops around 16.00pm. Please message us directly to book.

Where to buy tickets for this activity.
Also is it a day course or more than one day.

Hi Sunny,
Do you mean diving or snorkeling? Both you can do in one day. You can reserve spaces with me. Just need to know from when until when you will be on Koh Lanta & Where you plan to stay (resort name).
Hope to hear from you soon,
Warm regards,
Lisa
