- Ko Rok - Scuba Dive and Snorkel in a Coral Garden - Powder White Sandy
Beaches - Great Visibility & Underwater Photography
The two sister-islands of
Ko Rok offer beautiful diving with fabulous beaches and are
suitable for divers and snorkellers of all levels.
Located
approximately 25km south of Ko Haa and
visible on the horizon from Kantiang bay, Ko Rok offers
relatively shallow diving with abundant marine life and
thriving corals in the shallower areas.
Ko Rok is best known
as the top snorkelling site around Ko Lanta, but very few dive
centres offer scuba diving there. Our location in the South of
Ko Lanta gives us great access to these little known dive sites.
The islands are quite large and we are still discovering new and
exciting diving opportunities at these sites.
The shallow channel between Ko Rok's twin islands reaches
a maximum depth of 15 m, which makes Ko Rok a great destination
for students, beginner divers and snorkellers.
The uninhabited islands of Ko Rok (Ko Rok Nai - Inner Rock,
and Ko Rok Nok - Outer Rock) are part of Ko Lanta's National
Marine Park and are named after a small furry animal (called
'Rok' in Thai), which can occasionally be spotted on the islands.
Giant Monitor Lizards (often over a metre in length!) are regularly
seen on the beautiful, powder-white sandy beaches, which are
among prettiest in Thailand.
Enormous Gorgonian Sea Fans, hard corals, interspersed with
many colourful, soft corals, dominate the deeper areas on
the east side of Ko Rok Nok. The marine life that can be found
at Ko Rok varies from abundant and colourful reef fish to Black-Tip
Reef Sharks, which can be spotted, cruising past the reef and
if you're lucky you can find a Hawksbill Turtle near the beach.
Ko Rok can be best described as a Coral Garden. The reef tends
to slope gently downwards to a sandy bottom between 21 - 25 metres.
You can expect to see plenty of Puffer Fish, Anemone fish and
Snappers. If you look out into the blue, you might be lucky enough
to spot an Eagle Ray or even a passing White-Tip!
The diving and snorkelling at Ko Rok is relaxed and scenic.
There are great underwater photography opportunities and the
visibility is usually superb.
The spectacular twin beaches, crystal clear water and abundant
wildlife, above and below the water, make for memorable day for
all the family.
We keep group sizes small to ensure you
get the most out of each fun dive. This also reduces
impact on our reefs. Our emphasis is on safety, fun and
personal service within a relaxed and stress-free environment.
You will find the atmosphere and service on our dive
boats, beyond anything you have experienced before!
Our experienced Divemasters know the dive sites extremely
well, and will be happy to discuss what you would like
to see, and the type of dive or snorkel experience you
would like to have. Each dive is personally planned with
the divers in each group, to ensure you enjoy each and
every dive you make with us.
A full briefing is provided at each site, with helpful
tips on what to look for, safety information, and the most
interesting places to visit.
