Camille (co-owner with her husband Jean-Marc) was super helpful and very nice to deal with. No pressure, good info.
They provide one divemaster for 4 divers max which is very good I think.
I went for the three dives day trip (called "fun dive" in their price list) on January 10, 2020 for 5,100 baths, plus 600 baths for the marine park fees. If you are at the Lanta Pearl Beach Hotel, you get a 10% discount since their office is located on the same property.
We headed to the dives on the motorized catamaran of Blue Planet Divers with many other diving companies. Lucky for me, I was their only client so I had a great dive instructor (Craig, a British guy with great eyesight to spot micro life and spy stuff like scorpion fishes!). During that "fun dive" day trip, we were supposed to dive Hin Muang, Hin Deng and Ko Haa... unfortunately, due to strong current, most clients on board opted to to two dives on Koh Haa (Koh Haa 1 and Koh Haa Yai 5) after having experienced a sporty dive on Hin Muang! Unfortunately, we saw nothing of the big game (mantas or whale sharks), but all dives were fun with nice corals, micro life (nudibranchs, banded cleaning shrimps, etc.), swim throughs and caves.
The boat was very nice, except that they had to "cool down" one of the engine on the way back which resulted in an hour more to get back. The food onboard is great, breakfast with a cook to prepare you eggs as you prefer them with chocolatines (miam), snack time with fresh fruits and spring rolls, lunch with various curries and fresh fruits.
Good job to all the Apo Dhatu Divers team, I strongly recommend using them and would go back diving with those guys!

We had a a great experience with Camille and Jean Marc at Apo Dhatu Divers. They were super helpful, easy to deal with and made us feel comfortable and safe.
We were referral divers needing our Open Water Dives for our certification, one adult and two kids (13 and 10 yo). They provided us with all the equipment, a great instructor (Matt from Normandy) and an amazing boat (well-organized and the food is great).
We highly recommend Apo Dhatu, including Matt, Camille and Jean Marc for your diving. I cannot imagine a better diving experience.
Thank you guys!

We chose Apo Dhatu Divers for our PADI training because of the great reviews we found online and we have not been disappointed. Camille and Jean-Marc, our trainers, were very professionals, they made their best to make us feel safe and confortable underwater. Our three day training and our five dives have been just perfect thanks to them. On top of that, they have been really warm and helpful during our stay in Koh Lanta. We would definitely recommend Apo Dhatu Divers without hesitation to anyone willing to discover scuba diving!
Merci Camille et Jean-Marc!

I recently had 2 days diving with the school. Both days were fantastic with a great instructor who made me feel very comfortable on some rough dives. I met both owners of the school who were both extremely friendly and welcoming. The equipment they provided was very high quality and comfortable. The boats I was booked on were very helpful with great food and a relaxed atmosphere.
Unfortunately I had a problem with one of my ears while diving and this meant I couldn't dive again for a week. The school was extremely understanding in this and was concerned about my health which I appreciated.
Thank you for the great time. Great school, lovely people.
10/10 would highly recommend.

It doesn't take too many words when everything goes smooth and the instructors are so good at their job. We were doing our Open Water and got through the whole process in a very intuitive way. We had the chance to be instructed by the two main instructors and got everything we needed whenever needed. They even got good prices for the transportation to Krabi for us.
Regarding the diving itself they've shown us many beautiful spots and we even got to see some leopard shark! The whale shark was seen the previous day we were there but we didn't have this chance unfortunately. Anyway we ended up with our certificates and our heads full of beautiful memories.
Really it was an amazing experience.
Thanks for everything Camille and Jean-Marc.

Our daughter did the bubblemaker program (8years old) in a pool and it exceeded all expectations. Camile was amazing with our daughter and made sure she had a funny, safe and amazing experience. Would recommend to anyone considering this, when going to Thailand.

Finished my open water training dives with Apo Dhatu Divers. Camille had everything organized perfectly, car to pick us up in the morning, amazing boat rides, and a car waiting to drive us home at night. My instructor Kris was amazing. Patient, kind and took time to thoroughly go through all of the skills and show us the marine life we saw on each dive.

Amazing experience! Wonderful Eak took great care of us during the dive. It was the first time for my husband who really enjoyed his dives with Eak despite being very stressed before the dive itself. Thank you Apo!

I had absolutely the best diving experience. I had a private dive instructor Eak with me because I haven’t dived for a while. He was attentive, observant and caring. The equipments were all set up well. It was very efficient to put on equipment and jump in the water. The boat is spacious and clean. It was run very efficiently and organized. I will give a two-thumbs-up for this.

Hei. Juu laadukkaita avokantaräpylöitä kenkien kanssa käytämme. Ei tule ikäviä hankauksia eikä hiertymiä niin helposti.
Milloin sulla olisi vuokraräpylälle tarvis? Entä tarvitko muita varusteita, vakuutusta tai muita esim. vesialtiviteetteihin liittyviä palveluita. Ota yhteyttä, niin laitetaan varusteet ja sukellukset/ snorklaukset kalenteriin.
Autamme mielellämme.
Terveisin Marjo / Lazy Sealin toimisto
