Do you often find yourself day-dreaming about your next underwater adventure and what exciting encounters await you? For lucky Oki & Amena from Shanghai in China, their Scubafish diving holiday exceeded all their wildest dreams. During a five day diving package, Oki & Amena encountered no less than 3 Whalesharks, a Manta Ray, 3 Leopard Sharks and 2 Turtles.
Oki & Amena had this to say about their dream package:
“After a year not diving, we came to Scubafish and experienced this amazing array of spectacular visual euphoria & delight:
Day 1: Leopard Shark, Hawksbill Turtle & lots of beautiful fish
Day 2: Two Leopard Sharks and another lovely Turtle
Day 3: Yet another Leopard Shark encounter and a school of Barracuda.
Day 4: Two up close & personal Whaleshark encounters
Day 5: Another incredible Whaleshark sighting and a Manta Ray circling the reef!
….It was like a dream - what a perfect way to remind us why diving is such a miracle….
Thank you Scubafish!”
If you would like your dive adventures to live up to your day-dreamsthen sign up for a diving package with Scubafish and experience the Andaman at its very best….
Oki & Amena get up close and personal with a Whaleshark at Ko Haa
The recent new moon brought no shortage of action to the waters surrounding Ko Lanta, with lucky Scubafish divers enjoying daily Whaleshark encounters & even one day with both a Manta Ray & a Whaleshark on the same dive site.
It is thought that the new moon triggered a coral spawning event in the region that attracted Whalesharks from far & wide, but whatever the reason, Scubafish customers were understandably delighted to enjoy regular close encounters with these gentle giants.
Hin Daeng & Ko Haa were the main focus of the action, with no less than six separate encounters over the space of just four days, including one incredible day at Hin Daeng when a Manta Ray put in an appearance as well. March and April are famous for Whaleshark sightings in the Andaman Sea, but no-one can remember quite so many Whaleshark sightings in such a short period of time. And with another new moon fast approaching, Scubafish staff & divers are all hoping for another spree of magical Whaleshark encounters…

Many tourists and divers have heard of Koh Samui, Koh Tao, Phuket, Phi Phi and The Similan Islands. All of these destinations are fantastic and offer something unique to divers and tourists alike. However, nestled along the West coast of Thailand – Koh Lanta has something to offer everyone, and is still relatively unpublicised. Here are SIX reasons, which when combined – lead me to believe that Koh Lanta is simply THE BEST dive destination in Thailand. Continue reading »

Scubafish divers can now benefit from the new Skills Polish course from Liquid Lense.
Liquid Lense - Ko Lanta’s Underwater Digital Imaging Academy - has added a great new course to its range of Underwater Photography & Videography courses. The new Skills Polish Course is a one-day refresher session available for divers who have some experience of underwater photography already, but would like to polish up on their skills at the start of their diving holiday.
‘For most budding underwater photographers, the chance to get in the water with a camera only comes around a couple of times a year. So it makes perfect sense to brush up on skills at the start of a diving holiday. That way, you know for certain that the photos you take will match your expectations and make for enjoyable memories for many years to come.’ says Phil, of Liquid Lense.
For more details on our Skills Polish course, visit our Academy or book yourself in for a Skills Polish as part of your dive package with Scubafish.
This year we stayed on Koh Lanta for low season, which falls between April/May and September/October. We imagined low season would bring days and days of nonstop rain, treacherous storms and very little diving. Despite how unappealing this prospect may seem, we were intrigued to see the change in nature and culture as the island flowed through the seasons from hot, dry and busy, to hot, wet, and quiet. In addition to this, everything is cheaper during low season, and the low cost of living bought us plenty of time for relaxing and contemplating over new projects and ideas. Continue reading »
Scubafish is participating in several events this year as part of the 2008 International Clean Up Day Activities in association with Project AWARE, Greenfins, Green World Foundation and local school children from 7 schools in Ko Lanta.
