Why dive here
With 177+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, giant moray eels, whale sharks, clownfish and pufferfish - Long Beach offers some of Koh Lanta & Phi Phi's richest diving.
Long Beach is a straightforward dive, shallow and calm, perfect for shaking off the rust or for those taking their first breaths underwater. Expect a sandy bottom with scattered corals and a good chance to spot juvenile reef fish, perhaps a pipefish or two if you look closely. It's an easy drift, often with very little current, making it ideal for training dives or snorkelers joining a trip. We'd suggest it for beginners looking for a relaxed introduction to the Andaman Sea.
