Koh Ha Islands
 
Thai Name: Koh Ha
Translation: Five Islands
 

Ko Ha lies between Phi Phi Islands and Hin Daeng, close to Koh Lanta. There are 5 small islands (Ha is Thai for five) with several dive possibilities. The best is on Ko Ha Yai where you find two enormous caverns with their entrance at 10-14m depth. A dive is best started on the reef to the West of the caverns, where there are some nice coral heads and fields of sea whips down to a depth of 20-25m.

The caverns though, are the highlight. You can surface inside and see large stalactites hanging over your head. The light coming into the caverns makes for some beautiful photographs. At the back of the East cavern is a small hole leading to a tunnel some 25m long, ending in a chamber. This should only be attempted by divers with appropriate training and equipment.

Lunch is suitable in the lagoon between islands #2, #3 and #4. This is a very shallow lagoon with excellent porites corals. Great snorkeling.

The second dive is usually on and around island 2 and 4. Since they are only 80 meters apart, it is appropriate to circum navigate both islands during one dive.

The walls of island #2 are covered in daisy corals (Tubelestrum). Giant morays are very common, as are lionfish and scorpion fish. Frog fish can be found hiding in shallow hard corals and it is common to sea Hawksbill turtles at these sites. Look carefully on the sand between the islands and you may discover the elusive sand eels, with their heads sticking out of the sand.
