Phuket Dive Guide : Koh Haa the Lagoon

Nestled within the Koh Lanta National Park is one of the jewels of the Andaman Sea. It is a collection of six islands – one large island Koh Haa Yai and its five smaller islands.
Ko Haa, Thai for “five islands” lies between Phi Phi and Hin Daeng, close to Ko Lanta.
The 12+ dive sites at Ko Haa offer beautiful scuba diving and snorkelling with spectacular 25 m+ visibility, underwater pinnacles, drop-offs, walls, boulders and other caverns, inter-connected chambers and swim-throughs to explore. Ko Haa’s scuba diving highlights include the Lagoon, the Cathedrale and the Chimney.
Koh Haa Island No. 2, 3 and 4 create a beautiful sheltered lagoon. The lagoon has a shallow sandy bottom at 4-6 metres with coral bommies dispersed all over. The Lagoon is a great place for all levels of divers and perfect for snorkelers as well. There is plenty of life in the sandy lagoon including Giant Morays, Lionfish, Clown Fish, and very friendly Porcupine Fish.

Most dives start in
the lagoon but move out to the surrounded islands. The walls of the islands, that
drop down to about 27 metres are covered in colorful soft and hard corals,
anemones and barrel sponges. A large shoal of barracuda is often encountered
along with puffers, sea snakes, boxfish, garden eels, scorpion fish, and
squid. When crossing between the islands the sandy bottom offers a wealth
of interesting things from flounder and stingrays to peacock mantis shrimp, sea
moths, and literally hundreds of partner gobies with shrimp guarding their
holes.
