Ko Haa Yai 5 dive site is also called the Cathedral. The site is located 30 min by boat from Ko Lanta. Around 20 m deep, there are cave entrances leading to a superb underwater Cathedral. Enter the cave system only if you are an experienced diver and you know what you are doing. This spot is perfect for photography with great shot opportunities of the superb underwater ambiance. The marine life is also superb with turtles, whitetip reef sharks and all the usual reef fishes of the Andaman Sea. The current can be strong, so always plan your dive carefully.

This is a Cave diving spot, make sure you have all required certifications. Ko Haa Yai 5 - The Cathedral is sometimes classified as a Drift dive. This location is a Reef. This is great place for spotting and diving with Sharks!
