These are advanced dive sites unsuitable for beginners due to the currents and depths.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Koh Haa<br \/>\n<\/strong>A cluster of five limestone islands, 1 hour west of Lanta, offering excellent diving for all levels in a protected environment. The islands feature underwater caverns, swim-throughs, healthy coral reefs, abundant reef fish, and good visibility. The <strong>Koh Haa Lagoon<\/strong> is popular for its cathedral-like underwater chamber illuminated by light shafts. The site is suitable for open water certified divers and above.<\/li>\n<li><strong>King Cruiser Wreck<br \/>\n<\/strong>The wreck is of a passenger ferry that sank in 1997 near Phi Phi, now resting at 10-30 meter depth and colonized by marine life. The site is for experienced divers, good fish populations, and occasionally strong currents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n    <div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\">\n\n\t\t\n        <ul>\n\t\t\t        <\/ul>\n    <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Koh Lanta is Krabi&#8217;s premier diving location with access to the region&#8217;s best dive sites<br \/>\n1-2 hour boat journey away.
