On the 12th of October 2016, Scubafish undertook the massive operation of Marine Park clean up. In conjunction with Pimalai Resort & Spa over 30 divers and snorkelers headed to the stunning Koh Haa where marine debris was removed, buoy lines were set and safe swim zones were implemented. The following day the beautiful islands of Koh Rok received the same treatment.
Here at Scubafish, we are very fortunate to be situated in extremely close proximity to the beautiful Ko Haa island group. In fact we are the only dive operation which, during high season (mid Nov- mid April), departs from Kantiang bay on the southwestern end of Ko Lanta. This means we have the shortest non…
Wow, what a great way to kick off the high season here at Scubafish!
Yesterday, we made our first trip of the season out to world-famous dive sites Hin Daeng and Hin Muang. On the second dive at Hin Daeng, we descended slowly on the eastern side and had the pleasure of meeting a 4 meter long, juvenile, whale shark.
All of us at Scubafish are looking forward to meeting 80 students from Srithammarat Suksa School (also known familiarly as the AMC) this coming Monday.

Scubafish celebrates World Elephant Day 2015 by promoting conservation, fair treatment of Elephants and to help you make informed decisions regarding them.
Get into the habit of always taking your own bags with you or refusing a plastic bag at our local shops. And if for any reason you do genuinely need a plastic bag, take it out with you the next day and use it again. THEN use it to transport your sandy flip-flops back home with you at the end of your holiday. Please help us at Scubafish to keep our sea and island clean and start saying NO to plastic bags.
Scubafish daily takes part in The Thailand eShark Project, which gathers data from divers in Thailand and hopes to be the largest project undertaken in one country, by divers for shark conservation.
Over 70% of our planet is covered by the Ocean, which is home to 80% of all life. Therefore it goes without saying, that protecting sharks, as one of the main regulators within this ecosystem, is crucial to our life on Earth. In part, our existence depends on theirs.
Trash Hero bottles let you get a much-needed water refill from all around the island, including all 4 Scubafish shops.
On March 21st, 2015, a group of marine scientists along with the help of Scubafish dive teams and volunteers will release 200 Western Clownfish into the Ko Haa Lagoon.
The Clownfish Release Project is generously funded by the owner of Pimalai Resort and Spa, Khun Anurat Tiyaphorn. The actual research is lead by Dr. Thorn Thamrongnawasawat, Head of the Department of Marine Sciences at Kasetsart University and supported by the Thai Department of Fisheries.
Last year Scubafish were delighted to take part in Earth Hour. The event was a great success in Kantiang Bay, with most of the local businesses taking part and showing their support.
