Koh Haa (5 Islands)
Koh Ha (which means ‘Five Islands’ in Thai) is rather confusingly made up of six small islands that lie due West of Koh Lanta. This charming group of islands provides several good dive sites that range in ability level from gentle beginner dives from the lagoon area to deeper, more advanced dives, through caves and caverns, to a maximum depth of 34 meters.
Most popular for its great visibility, usually over 20 meters, Koh Ha offers many tiny animals like Ghost Pipe fish, little Shrimps and plenty of Nudibranches. There are also beautiful corals, Lion fish, Sea Snakes and Turtles. On island number 5 you have the famous Cathedral Cavern, where inside you can ascend to the surface into this huge chamber with stalactites. From here you can see the beautiful green and blue light coming in through the entrance of the cavern.
If you are lucky, you might see a Whale Shark swimming by Koh Ha. Also an excellent place to bring your snorkeling partner. There are plenty of shallow reefs for snorkeling. This is one of the best places to learn to dive or to start your diving.
