Stonehenge

The most popular diving site on Koh Lipe, I went there twice in one day. The first time I went there, because of the strong current, I had to wait on the boat for half an hour before arranging for everyone to enter the water, and they had to hold on to the diving rope to dive to the bottom of the sea. The current at this dive site is strong, so you need to dive close to the seabed to avoid part of the current. The dive site is characterized by pink and white soft corals growing on large reefs.

Longbeach

The depth of this dive site is relatively shallow, so the water is not so green, and the photos taken are much better. The specialty of the diving site is the vast swaths of corals. Although they are all gray and look rather monotonous, they are rich in variety and well-preserved. Regardless of the color, they are quite beautiful.

KohYang

There are two dive sites, one in the east and one in the west. The scenery should be similar. I went to the east side, which is my favorite dive spot. There are patches of corals, including pink, white and purple soft corals, and the current is not very strong. Halfway through the trip, the repatriation point was between several boulders, which was only big enough for one person. After carefully following the dive guide through the boulders, I was lucky enough to see an oversized panda nudibranch. Introduction to the dive shop

The dive guides on the island are mainly Westerners, with very few Chinese and Thai people. I talked about this topic with a British dive guide. He said that many local Thais don’t like to go into the sea, so There are very few people engaged in diving guides, unlike Malaysia and Indonesia where there are many local diving guides. Personally, I prefer local diving guides. I think they know the sea better and because they work here all year round, they have to support their families with this job, and the service is also very good. This time, I changed three dive guides in one ***, all of them were Westerners. Frankly speaking, they were not very good at taking care of people, and their eyesight was not very good. They found many things by themselves.

The diving shop recommends KoLipe

diving. They have a ten-dive package, which is RMB 200 per dive. The price includes equipment, and it is very cost-effective. The most important thing is that his family has the largest boat on the island, with one to three floors, very comfortable. Many dive shops do not have big boats, only long-tail boats. Just imagine going diving in a long-tail boat, it will probably be very painful. I saw another one that also had a big boat, but it only had two floors, and the seats were long benches. I see that many Chinese people go to Forra mainly for Chinese dive guides. I think if you can basically communicate in English, there is no need to find a Chinese dive guide. In addition, Ko

Lipe

The Diving family has a Japanese diving guide who can also speak Chinese. She lived in Taiwan before she was eleven years old and has no problem communicating, but she will only be on the island during the peak season. Of course, don’t go to Koh Lipe during the off-season. There are very few boats passing by every day, and many diving sites are closed. Most of the diving guides on the island have also left.
