Rob: With the new season fast approaching ( I CAN’T WAIT!!!!!) Lanta Diving Safaris which is Koh Lanta’s only Liveaboard Diving Boat has just announced a few changes to their original schedule.
Due to an increase of interest they will be doing a few special trips which will incorporate the South of the Andaman […]

Rob:Whilst we are in the low season, I have been sorting out all my diving photos and videos from the 07/08 season. I really enjoyed not just viewing all the diving photos again but I especially liked looking at and remembering all the people I have been lucky enough to meet and dive with. What […]

Rob:Due to my Birthday ( 30 something ) and working allot, I decided to take a short holiday to Koh Samui and Koh Phagnan in the Gulf of Thailand,but didn’t participate in any diving. These islands are very accessible from Koh Lanta with a minivan ride and a boat trip you arrive safely at your […]

Its been an incredible week on Koh Lanta This week. I really love April, it’s when the least amount of visitors arrive as getting near the end of the season. That also means very quiet dive sites too - not so good for dive shop owners, but good for divers!

Rob: This video was taken at Koh Ha Lagoon. Normally you just get to see Moray Eels poking their heads out of rock crevices so i was fortunate to see this moray eel out swimming. Look how it uses its body to swim. Pretty amazing.

Rob: Normally we find octopus hiding in crevices and when we get closer they simply retract into the smallest holes imaginable. This one was changing colors so quickly in front of my eyes it was amazing to watch. The video was filmed at Koh Bida.

Rob: Wow what a day diving I’ve had. I had gone to the Koh Bida Islands doing my last day of an Advanced Course with Paul my student. On the first dive at Koh Bida Nok we had planned to do a drift dive. Twenty mins into the dive we looked up and […]

Rob: We have a serious danger on Koh Lanta. Motorbikes! Now if these are driven sensibly you will have no problems. Unfortunately many people come to Thailand and have never driven one before. The roads on Koh Lanta are very good which means many people decide to drive quickly. Sadly when exploring the island and […]

Rob: One of my favorite sightings underwater has to be Cephalopods. The one’s we see on a regular basis are better known as Octopus and Cuttlefish. They have developed some fantastic defense techniques for protection. They can change body shape and texture to help them blend in with the environment and right before […]
