We visited Koh Lanta in the New Year and they were brilliant then so we're the first choice on our return with a group of friends. Petur was really helpful during the organisation of the day and the speedboat straight of Kantiang beach was a comfortable and quick ride to Koh Haa. Kit was all excellent, diving was relaxed whilst safe. Guides were super underwater and on the boat and super friendly. Great food between dives.

I've dived Koh Ha and HDHM many times and with many of the shops on Koh Lanta. Scubafish is the best on several fronts. 1) Since they leave from as far South, they spend less time getting to the dive areas, which means that a 3rd dive is offered, which most other shops don't offer. 2) The staff is experienced and professional: I've dived with them several times and usually the same staff is present, which means that the staff that they are intimately familiar with the locations. 3) Roman, their underwater photographer takes really good pictures 4) There is plenty of space on the boat and the food is good. Also, if interested they go to Koh Rock, which is worth a trip (saw a whale shark there).

Scubafish exceeded our expectations in quality of the services provided, everything was perfect! Tasty food every day on the boats, drinks, towels provided, experienced instructors (many thanks to Sanae and Harish!), good management, reliable pick up, everything was prepared and you didn’t even need to assemble or wash your gear, equipment rental in perfect conditions, 3 boats available -the big boat was really comfortable and the speedboat was fun! Not many people there while we were there, so we felt like in paradise. Best dive site for us was Hin Daeng and Hin Muang, where we spotted the whaleshark on our last dive! Otherwise Ko Haa was also nice and very photogenic! Optional 3rd dives were great idea! Thank you Scubafish for a wonderful week! Stay on this level of quality, good luck and stay positive in these tough times now!

Well run and so enjoyable. Don't miss this adventure! I'm glad that Thailand is protecting their reefs and fish. I've snorkeled all over the Caribbean and seen some reefs destroyed by storms, polution and anchors. There's an amazing world under water and it must be protected.

I am a frequent diver and had never experienced such a good organised and professional dive school! Really heart for the reef and environment. My boyfriend had a first dive without padi certificate and was very good supported by a fine instructor. He is now enthousiastic to get his padi therefor. Enough drinks and food with no extra costs. Very clean boat and a underwater photografer who made the best photos ever! For the price for the day we got more than we expected and there was also the possibility for a 3rd dive(for a little extra). A lot of sealife we saw throughout the day. I would recommend this scuba dive organisation to everybody!!

Found out about scubafish through my hotel and I've always wanted to learn to scuba dive so this was the perfect opportunity.

We booked on to complete the open water course. Our course instructor was Claus. He was extremely knowledgeable, a great teacher and most of all, super fun!! So happy I got to learn with him :)

Our first day we spent completing our confined water dives on site and days 2-3 were spent at Ko Haa. The scubafish team were really nice and helpful. The food was yummy too! They recycle and compost which is awesome.

Before my final dive with scubafish, I was telling Claus how its my dream to be able to see a turtle but also being aware that its completely down to chance. Anyways, in we go for the final dive and maybe 3 minutes in, THERE WAS A TURTLE. It was just chilling out, eating and stuff. Claus let us just hang about (good chance to practice that neutral bouyancy:p) for a good 5-10 minutes just observing it (giving it space obviously) but wow, literally BEST DAY EVER. Claus is a brilliant instructor, very patient and I'm happy to say I completed the OW course :)

Also while on the dives, we had photographers, Magnus and Roman from liquidlense. They both took some amazing underwater photos! I ended up buying a lot because I just couldnt decide on my favourites, they were all so awesome. So thanks guys, I can show everyone back home :)

Anyways, thanks Claus and the scubafish/liquid lense team!!

We had an amazing trip with Scubafish I did the snorkeling trip and my husband the diving. Very professional team with a great guide to diver ratio, and the snorkeling was even guided. My husband dive master was Pen who was awesome they saw some amazing things, my guide was Jeremiah who was just so excited to show the wonders of the undersea. The absolute highlight was both of us me from above my husband down below swam with a whale shark. The thai crew were unbelievable making sure all the equipment was ready with tanks full and the food was fab.

The only thing that was upsetting for me, my husband, buddy and Pen had just surfaced and the boat was picking everyone up, their were stinging jellyfish in the water and they were heading to the boat and for some unknown reason the boat left them to pick up another group in the water on the other side from where they were. They left them there for a good 20min luckily my husband wasn't stung but his dive buddy was. That was not good practice. This was why I left a 4 star review.

We dive quite a lot - Scubafish is up there with the very best of dive centres. Great service from every member of staff, from the office, through to the dive guides and a great boat crew. Such a great few days diving recently, documented along the way with excellent underwater photography by Roman and Magnus. The food is also excellent on board too - you get well fed! Great eco efforts too re recycling and food waste.

Koh Haa dives sites in particular we really great, with guest appearance from a lovely whaleshark, which are sighted regularly at the moment. Thanks so much to everyone!

My husband and I came to Thailand to dive. However, after a scooter accident we had to change our plans and snorkel instead. The employees at Scubafish were amazingly accommodating as we were on crutches. They really helped us find a site that worked. Not only that, but they hooked us up with a great guide, louise, who looked after our every need.

The boat staff was terrific, and really made sure we could get on and off the boat safety as well as being comfortable.

All of staff members really took care of us.

In addition, if you are looking for memories of your trip, Magnus Larsson. Is a wonderful photographer. With him in the water snapping photos you can just relax and enjoy swimming around knowing you can buy a package of gorgeous photos later. We will definitely go back once we heal!
