Why dive here
With 177+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, giant moray eels, whale sharks, clownfish and pufferfish - Koh Waen offers some of Koh Lanta & Phi Phi's richest diving.
Koh Waen is a good entry-level dive near Koh Lanta, rarely dropping below 14 metres. It's mostly a rock formation dive, with swim-throughs and small caves that harbour shrimp and crabs. The soft corals here are quite pretty, and we often spot cuttlefish or octopus tucked away. It's a relaxed dive, ideal for newer divers or those looking for a laid-back second tank.
