About Lanta Diver
Lanta Diver is a family-run PADI Five Star Career Development Center that has operated from Saladan village since 1999, making it one of the longest-standing dive operators on Koh Lanta. The shop sits in the middle of town, opposite the SCB bank and Lanta Mart, a short walk from the pier where its boats load each morning, and it stays open all year round.
Daily trips head to the lagoons and swim-throughs of Koh Haa, the deep pinnacles of Hin Daeng and Hin Muang where manta rays pass through, and the walls around the Phi Phi islands. Courses cover the full PADI ladder, from Discover Scuba Diving and Open Water up to Rescue, Divemaster, and instructor training, and snorkelers are welcome on most departures to Koh Haa.
Career Development Center status puts Lanta Diver in a small tier of PADI operations trusted to train the trainers, and the team pairs that credential with small guided groups and hotel pickup across the island. Guests who want to keep diving after their trip can book repeat fun-dive days at reduced rates.
