The Emerald Cave is a very popular snorkelling spot in Koh Lanta. It is located on Ko Muck Island, 20 km South of Ko Lanta. The cavern is 30 m long and is partly underwater depending on the tide. The maximum depth is 12 m. The beach is superb but only accessible at low tide. The diving is best done at high tide. Water visibility is often reduced but this is an unusual dive site worth exploring!

This is a Cave diving spot, make sure you have all required certifications. This location is a Reef.

You can dive The Emerald Cave all year long. Access: from the Shore. See the map of The Emerald Cave on the right for the exact location.
