“Finding Peace Underwater”: Here’s my Diving Story with BOD 🤿
Pre-Dive Experience: “Why Scuba
26 Aug 2022After 3 years of waiting, our annual 5D4N New Year’s Eve trip to Koh Lanta, Thailand is finally back! 🇹🇭 This NYE Dive Trip to Koh Lanta has been a yearly staple of BOD since 2015, and we are so happy to bring it back as the perfect trip to ring in the new year! 🎉 Our customers LOVE this trip. This is because they get to experience a new part of Thailand with familiar people here at BOD as tour guides 📸. They get to explore this part of Thailand, while travelling with wonderful company, food, and diving. 🤿
This is the perfect fun-filled trip for the whole family, including the non-divers. All you have to do is show up — and we’ll take care of the rest.
Boasting for having the best diving on Thailand’s west coast, Koh Lanta is a popular destination for scuba divers. Thanks to its colourful reefs, substantial drop-offs, and attractive caverns, it is a hotspot for scuba divers looking for adventure. 🤿
Expect to see a lot of colourful reefs. Light currents cause Gorgonian sea fans to sway, while carpets of anemone swarms the pinnacles. For the enjoyment of macro enthusiasts, keep an eye out for blacktip reef sharks, hawksbill turtles, and several species of nudibranchs, shrimp, pipefish, and seahorses. Diving in Koh Lanta is also known for whale shark and manta ray sightings so be sure to keep one eye out in the blue! 🦈
One of the highlights is diving at the Koh Haa Yai dive site (a.k.a. The Cathedral). It is covered with a variety of soft corals, sea fans and hard corals, with 2 underwater caves at a depth of 12m. (see trip highlights below!)
Arrive, settle in, and relax! Feel free to hop into a tuk tuk with the group and experience Big Ocean Dive’s favourite hotspot on the island!
3 ocean dives. For non-divers, you’ll have the day to snorkel, relax and explore!

The Cathedral that we will dive in is covered with a variety of soft corals, sea fans and hard corals, with 2 underwater caves at a depth of 12m.
On day 4, we will take you on a Koh Lanta tour and show you the best that Koh Lanta has to offer. We will explore the waterfalls, the local town, and bring you to our favourite restaurants in Koh Lanta. Big Ocean Dive will be your personal tour guide for the day and show you our best spots around town.
On New Year's Eve, we'll book a table together on the beach and send off candle-lit lanterns into the night's sky with our wishes for the new year (Thailand's NYE tradition). At midnight there will be a countdown with a fireworks show (feel free to buy your own and add to the festivities)

Sure, we can make arrangements for private trips for you and your family. Just let us know the location you would like to dive and we will propose the resort and dive arrangements.
