This Thailand diving region is located in the southern Andaman Sea between the Phi Phi Islands and Hin Daeng - Hin Muang. Mostly, the area is visited by liveaboard cruises.
Koh Ha, which means '5 islands' in the Thai language, is a tiny cluster of islets located 25 km west of Koh Lanta Island. It has some excellent caverns that divers can penetrate.
The channels that separate the islands are over 50 metres deep and the water is usually clear with good visibility.
25 kilometres south of Koh Ha is Koh Rok, which are twin islands known as Koh Rok Nai and Koh Rok Nok and which are separated by a thin 15 metre deep channel. All these islands are situated within the Mu Koh Lanta National Marine Park and are uninhabited, boasting some stunning unspoiled beaches. The diving at Koh Rok is on a coral reef, one of the prettiest and well-preserved for diving in Thailand.
Check out your diving options in our Hin Daeng and Hin Muang liveaboards, and Krabi day trips or Phi Phi day trips sections.
Koh Ha and Koh Rok can be visited by some of the Thailand liveaboard safaris on their way to Hin Daeng - Hin Muang.
It is also possible to take a scuba daytrip boat from Krabi to dive at the islands of Koh Ha. These full day trips run every Thursday.

The dive season for both Koh Rok and Koh Ha is from November and April when the weather is at its best and the seas are usually calm. Visibility can reach 30m and the water temperature reaches 29-30°C from February through to April.
The other months of the year are under the influence of strong winds blowing in from the Indian Ocean, bringing rain and waves, which negatively impacts the diving experience. Visibility sometimes drops to 5-10m and the sea cools a little to 27-28°C. The islands are nowadays officially closed during this time of year. Visit HikersBay for more information on the climate and sea conditions around NEARBY Koh Lanta.
