Why dive here
With 177+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, giant moray eels, whale sharks, clownfish and pufferfish - The Emarald Cave offers some of Koh Lanta & Phi Phi's richest cave diving.
The Emerald Cave isn't really a dive site; it’s a snorkel and swim through. You approach by boat, then swim through a dark tunnel, guided by ropes, until you emerge into an open-to-the-sky lagoon surrounded by high cliffs. It’s a bit of an adventure, perfect for non-divers or a relaxing surface interval, but not for getting your tanks wet.
Safety Notes
Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
