Lanta Diver

Superior quality diving center. Worth every penny if you look for "Quality Diving Experience with Professional Services".

Positive attitude regardless you're the inexperience diver. Skillful dive instructors, dive leads and boat crews. They are professional and good manner. No tie-in selling any courses or gears. Well maintained diving equipment, big boat & safe, wetsuit are new and can record dives in SSI app (manually verified).

I do 2 days, 4 Fun dives and I have the marvelous experience with Vera and Tong. They totally boost up my confident in diving.

1st day, I dived with Vera who was so enthusiastic to help me with her good attitude, high patient, exceptional service mind and kindness. She has truly instructor spirit to improve my poor diving skills. On the 2nd day, I dived with Mr.Tong, he's the nice dive lead who encourage and supervise me very well. He's so supportive, polite and very good caring for my safety.

I'm inexperience in diving, around 10 dives with OW from Koh Tao and had bad experience with the other diving center in Lanta that did not hesitate to express their bias and made me felt like I wasn't welcome because I didn't take OW course with them and they weren't welcome to share tips or support unless I paid for the extra courses.

On the other hand, Lanta Diver is very helpful & lift up standard of my experience in diving. I feel like they run business with Passion so they want to offer the best if they know your special requests in advance.

I expressed my concern and made special request to their Thai Admin on Fb, Ms.Mook, and she has such the great service mind to coordinate and arrangement to save me from Fun Dives nightmare in Lanta😂

Apart from that, they shows spirit of collaboration in Lanta diving society. They were standby to offer help to the other dive center in the middle of the sea until they were ok.

Cannot fault these guys. Did our Advanced OW course here - and everything was professional and swift. Everyone who works there are so amazing at their jobs, and you can tell they’re really passionate. Gaz, our Dive Master, was incredible; so chilled and a great laugh. Had the best time - thank you!

Could not have had a better experience getting my open water certification for PADI here. Our instructor, Stephanie, was amazing and guided us every step of the way. At no point did I feel nervous or like I wasn't in good hands. Plus, the dives were incredible and we were able to see tons of fish, crustaceans, and even a leopard shark. Will definitely recommend this place and hope to come back someday! Thank you Stephanie and Lanta Divers 🙏

We had a blast at this company in Ko Lanta! The staff is super professional and fun. My hubby and I did a day dive and now we're itching to come back for a full PADI course. Marcus, our Swedish instructor, was a riot—so helpful and made the whole dive extra awesome. Shoutout to the kitchen crew for the tasty food and the photographer who snapped some killer shots. Can't wait to visit again!

Best dive centre in Ko Lanta! I did my Advanced Open Water and was very impressed with the attention to detail, expertise, and professionalism. Ollie is by far the best dive master in Thailand! I feel much more confident after my course! The crew is great— excellent food, professional photo package, etc.

I highly recommend this diving centre to everyone, both the beginners and people that want to upgrade their skills and knowledge about diving. Everything is very well organised, from a punctual pick-up to really delicious meals and snacks. The boats, that are owned by the company, are really comfortable and well equipped. The instructors and divers are experienced and really care that you have the best experience possible (special mention to Gaz!). The diver centre does not have a high turnover in instructors so it's usually people that have worked with the centre before and know the diving spots well. On top of that, office staff/ management is very communicative, doesn't omit any crucial information/ costs and answers whatever questions you might have. Excellent place.

My partner and I went diving with Lanta Diver and had a great time! I am certified (but only with 2 dives at that point), my partner did discover scuba. We had a great guide - just the two of us with the dive master. We felt well taken care of being inexperienced and needing to ask more questions. The boat is big and spacious and there was a great lunch too!

One of the best dive experiences with Stephanie. She is very detailed with explanation, not too fast or slow, points out items and overall good people.

On the boat, there was breakfast, fruit, and lunch with water and soft drinks provided. I'd recommend that when in Koh Lanta go with Lanta Diver.

In my opinion, it is one of the best dive centers I've been to around the world. Safety comes first, and they organize groups appropriately, which is important to me. The crew is very nice, especially Non (our dive guide for more than 10 dives). He can spot macro life that others can't spot. The food they serve is delicious portions. Extra for nitrox is not expensive compared to other centers. They will pick you up, as well as other shops, from your accommodation. I didn't not rent gear other than shorties so I can't say for their gear. They have three boats, two big ones, and a speedboat, and I've tried them all. The speedboat I've tried going to Hin Daeng and it can be cramped and moves a lot when stationary so take your seasickness pills. The bigger boats normally are scheduled to Koh Haa and Koh Bida only. I'm very happy, as a diver, with Lanta Divers. Not to mention, they accommodated us with our daily schedules. Thank you for that. I highly recommend this establishment.

Take it from a professional with 25 years experience, Lanta Diver is a top dive centre !!! The guides are quality, the boats are well kept, there is breakfast, lunch and all the fluids you can drink. There are varied sites, walls, reefs, wrecks and pinnacles. They can be busy but this is to be expected. It's a popular place to dive. Another great thing is the more you dive the more you save money. Just check out their dive packages, plus they have EANx available at 50 baht !!! If I come back to Koh Lanta, Lanta Diver will be the dive shop I'll use.

Did a double dive at Koh Bida (Koh Bida Nok and Koh Bida Nai) both sites were beautiful, such an abundance of fish! Our instructor Tung was super knowledgeable and the boat team were great. Really enjoyed it and highly recommended

Excellent dive school! Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to dive around Koh Lanta. We did our Open Water PADI course here. Dive instructors were very professional (thank you Gaz!!) and the breakfast and lunch on the boat were very tasty.

Excellent dive center. We attended a really well organised trip to Koh Haa. The staff were great and the dives were well managed and plenty of supervision. Equipment was of a good standard. On top of this the communication, meals and snacks was not notch! Will definitely use them a again.

We booked our Open Water PADI courses with Lanta Divers, and had an excellent experience. Whilst the course is challenging, we felt well supported throughout, and the professionalism of the crew was incredibly reassuring. Great boat, lovely lunch and excellent dive spots (particularly Koh Haa). A big shout out to Skunk, our instructor. Your patience and teaching approach was just what we needed, cheers bro!

I completed my advanced open water and my bf did the discover scuba course. Our instructors Gareth and Stephanie were fantastic. They were so professional but also fun and encouraging. The dive sites were amazing. The boat and equipment were clean and great condition. The food onboard was delicious. Great vibe and atmosphere onboard. Couldn’t recommend more. Felt so safe and hassle free. Everyone from reception staff, boat staff, captain and instructors were passionate and helpful. Nick the photographer also captured us diving which makes such great memories/amazing photos🐠🦈

What to say that hasn’t already been said? Lanta Divers run a tight ship,… literally!

Their excursions are smooth, well organised, and executed with precision timing (which made it embarrassing when I turned up a little late on my first dive day - sorry 🤦🏻‍♂)

They provide a really decent and varied breakfast and lunch, and the punctual nature of each trip, including the island choices and routes, maximises your dive time meaning you get the best experience in the water.

I completed my OWD PADI with them and my instructor, Gaz, was the best balance of professional and chilled, but fun. At the start I made him aware that I have ADHD and he was understanding of that across the three days of dives we had, especially during the pool training day. He’s exactly the kind of person you’d want around in a high risk/hazard situation (thanks Gaz) :)

During the open water dives, a photographer (Nick) will likely join you underwater, and he captures some truly incredible and memorable moments, which you can then purchase, should you choose to. I went with a group of friends (we were 8 in total) and he did a great job of managing to get great pics of all of us (there was even a tricky, but well captured,underwater group shot - well done Nick)!

From start to finish, dealing with Lanta Divers was easy and seamless and I will likely return to complete my AOWD with them, due to how comfortable they made me feel during my scuba dives (and, tbh, in general).

This is a confidence boosting contingent that I look forward to spending more time with!

I had an incredible day of diving with Lanta Diver. I did a refresher course as I haven't been diving since I did my open water in 2020 and I was quite anxious. But my diving instructor Max was so helpful and patient and by the 2nd dive, I was feeling much more confident. We even got to do some snorkelling in the afternoon. I highly recommend Lanta Diver and thank you Max for the experience.

Very professional, well organized and they don't skimp on safety. Great boats and food. Dive guides were really top notch. Best I've ever experienced in my diving days. The dives themselves were very good too. Eric from Canada

Great snorkeling tour to Ko Bida! Brigitta was a great and guide and super knowledgeable. The whole team was super professional. Saw reef sharks and many more. 100% recommended. The included food was incredible. Divers also seemed to have a good time :)

We did 3 dives + refresher with Lanta Diver and had excellent experiences.

5/5 highly recommended.

Personally, I prefer to book with small companies. But since we arrived in low season by the end of September, Lanta Diver was the only one operating already.

We went to Koh Haa, Koh Bida and Hin Muang/Hin Daeng. The instructors/dive masters were very professional with great personalities (greetings to Tong, David and Gus). We enjoyed our time on the boats as well as the food.

Julie (at the front desk) and Raymond (the owner) were always helpful and friendly when planning/booking the trips.

Thank you and hope to see you again soon.
