Blue Planet is one of the only shops running a boat in Koh Lanta at the moment (Nov/Dec 2021) and was great to work with. Benjamin, the shop manager,... read more was very friendly and so helpful.
The shop has recently opened their own on-site dive hotel - rooms are included if you book a package of multiple days diving with them. Rooms have been newly remodeled and are quite clean and comfortable.
Big boat is spacious and stable, with breakfast & lunch provided as well as between dive snacks. You certainly won't go hungry! Group sizes were small with friendly & informative guides.
I would not hesitate to recommend this shop to those interested in doing a course as well as experienced divers. The shop did a great job of grouping divers according to skill level, which is always appreciated. Package pricing was very good value for money.
Be aware that dive sites from Lanta are a bit of a trek - unfortunately the shop's catamaran was not running when I was there, but when it is in operation it cuts down the trip time significantly. I would love to come back when it's in use as it is a gorgeous looking boat!
13 December 2021 - Fantastic day diving and snorkelling with Blue Planet Divers. Our sons (11 and 14) tried a Discover Diving day and my wife and I snorkelled. Etienne looked after the boys... read more and was the perfect blend of friendly and professional. We felt safe and well looked after from the minute we were picked up at our hotel and throughout the whole day. We were lucky enough to see loads of fish and reef tip sharks. Matt took some fantastic photos that you are under no obligation to buy but you will definitely want to as they are far better than anything you can take yourself. Would definitely recommend to others and already have.

25 December 2022 - jippoline Very good experience! They take good care of you, good equipment, very friendly staff.

1 January 2022 - M_Pachos We dived with Tid and we had some amazing dives. The first two dives we saw many different kinds of tropical fish and colourful corals. The third dive was spectacular... read more we saw so many big fish hunting bait fish. Trevallys, Jacks and tunas were on feeding frenzy in front of our eyes!
4 January 2022 - REZ L The whole experience was amazing! Our diving instructor Dom was great! Incredibly patient, calm and made us feel safe. He was full of knowledge and happy to entertain our questions... read more and shown us some amazing sights. He would explain what the minimum requirements were for each skill set by PADI to complete the course but would also go beyond to add the best tips and advice to stay completely under control and safe in any situation. starting slowly in a pool eventually taking what you learn out to sea. Everything from the gear they provided to the transportation to and from the dive school was top quality. We moved hostel mid way through the course and it was made easy by them offering to store our backpacks while we were diving and then dropping us at our new place. The boats were great, the catamaran especially quick! Highly recommend this dive school and Dom if he is available though i got a sense all the instructors were great! A real diving community vibe! Because we decided to do the course out of the blue i wasn't really sure what to expect. The first sea dive was mind blowing, the feeling of weightlessness made me feel like i was flying in an alien like world full of colours and amazing communities of coral and fish, each telling its own story. After each dive was over i just couldn't wait to get back in. Little extras such as offering extra dives while you were out were available for a small added fee and also underwater photographers documented the whole experience should you wish to share the memory with family. Thanks again guys!
14 March 2020 - Blue Planet was very responsive on WhatsApp to organise the dives, and the package quoted for 2 days diving was very reasonable. They pick up and drop off from your... read more hotel. The catamaran is large, clean and well appointed. Lots of room to chill between dives. Breakfast, lunch and snacks provided on board were really good quality. The quality of the diving gear is fine. There were two of us and we did 3 dives each for 2 days. Groups are small, with no more than 4 individuals per guide. Our guides, Brice and Mark were both excellent, both knowledgeable and attentive and really made our trip special. All the staff and the owner are very pleasant and helpful.
Overall, am very impressed with Blue Planet Divers, would thoroughly recommend. Thank you to Blue Planet!

20 April 2024I only had 3 days time in my vacation where I wanted to do my Open Water. All of that was connected to a lot of planning and compromising and... read more Blue Planet and especially Max didn't call anything of it a problem and made it possible for me to dive in that small amount of time I had. The course and the people at Blue Planet is amazing. From my Pool Sessions to the last dive I have felt welcomened on the boat and part of a diving family. The diving instructors are very professional and take their job very serious. I can only recomment doing your certifications with them. Brice was the best instructor I could have asked for. He had enough patience for all my questions, called out the mistakes I made but also told me what I really did well. He loves to explain everything in detail what is very helpful. It might be more pricey here than in Koh Lanta but the courses are profesional, you are never more than four students per instructor and if you are as lucky as I was you might even have a 1 on 1 class. Definitely my best experience I had over my 4 weeks in Thailand.

4 April 2024I'm back to have the 2nd fun dive & take Deep Dive course with Raf again. Awesome experience and have learned good techniques in controlling body. Recommend to book him... read more in advance. His schedule is tight. I'd awesome experience of Basic Diver course with Raf before. He has passion in diving and he knows how to address non-experience divers who may be nervous when jumping into the sea. He has good attitude and he's very professional, high patient and kind. Highly recommended!

25 March 2024We had an absolutely amazing dive trip to Koh Haa with the Blue Planet Divers from Koh Lanta. The dive team is very professional, well organized, with attention to every... read more detail to ensure everyone's safety. They took time to teach the required basics, and to answer all our questions about the diving process. Our dive instructor Philip did an amazing job looking after us and adjusting the dives to match our abilities. We did three 40+ minute long dives in three different sites with stunning underwater scenery. They also have a professional underwater photographer coming along for the dives, so you can get very high quality pictures of your adventures if you're willing to pay extra. The food was great, everyone was friendly, so overall an awesome day to remember!
