All Set for High Season


The Boys (and Girls) are back in Town

Blue Planet Divers is set to have it's best ever High Season this year because all our favourite dive staff are coming back! Everyone of the team this year has repeatedly been praised by our guests for their knowledge, professionalism and sense of fun.

So here they are:

  • French Ben (Scuba Instructor, Fluent French & English) Where would we be without him and this year he's a father!
  • Ari (Scuba Instructor, Fluent French, English and Spanish) Back by popular demand
  • Alma (Divemaster, Fluent English and Spanish, Good French) Before she mainly worked at our Kaw Kwang Shop but this year she is part of the dive team.
  • DM Dave (Divemaster, Fluent French and English) Completed an internship with us 2 years ago and we wont let him leave because the customers love him!
  • Luke (Boatmaster and Divemaster, English) A popular Boatmaster last year and this year hoping to "Go Instructor" with us!
  • Aruna (Scuba Instructor, Office Manager, Fluent in French, English, Swedish plus many more) A huge asset to the business and she has also just become a mum!
  • English Ben (Technical Instructor, English) Worked with us for many years and an excellent replacement for Tech Dave (Well he is definitely happier in the mornings!)
  • Marc (Freediving and Scuba Instructor, Fluent French and English) Repeatedly commended by his guests.

Not only that, but we have also heard that some of our most favourite DMTs (now Divemasters), staff and guests are coming back again this year for holidays. If you are coming for Christmas book now!

Make your special day really special!

Blue Planet Divers have partnered with Royal Lanta Resort, to offer Underwater/Boat Weddings and Proposals. Following on from our highly successful Underwater Proposal last year (she said "Yes"), we have had numerous requests to offer both weddings and a memorable location for your Wedding proposal. We will work with you to provide you with the wedding/proposal you want, we can offer videography services, Boat Chartering (only speedboats during December and January), food and drinks, boat decoration, bespoke wedding wetsuits and much much more!

If you are interested in proposing or getting married, on the boat, underwater or on the beach of Koh Haa or just want to celebrate with a party on the boat, contact Mellisa, she will personally oversee your day to ensure it is perfect.

Go Pro

Don't forget that this year, Blue Planet Divers was awarded the PADI 5 Star IDC Centre Status and we now not only offer Divemaster Courses but also IDC courses. Our courses are highly competitive on price and our Course Director, Camille Lemmens, is a Platinum Course Director which is only awarded to the very best Course Directors around the world.

So get away from the rat race in Europe and start a new career where everyday is fun. Our next IDC is in November, for more information contact us...

AIDA Freediving Competition 2011 Thailand

For the fourth year in a row, we will be hosting the AIDA Freediving Competition in Thailand. All our officials are in place and the date has been set for the 10th -12th February.

We hope to welcome back many of our previous competitors but remember this event is open to all and if you want to just gain some more experience with friendly competitors and helpful officials we would love to see you. Contact Mellisa for more information.

Forever Improving

We at Blue Planet Divers are not the kind of people to sit still! So we have been busy in low season. The boat has undergone it's usual maintenance but we have made a number of upgrades on the boat, most notably:

  • Tank and Fin Racks (no more bungees) for added safety
  • Better serving facilities upstairs
  • Improved storage downstairs
  • And even the name on the bottom of the boat so you can find us easily!

The shop has not missed out either, we have built a new bar in our lounge area, so you can relax after diving with a beer, soda or a small snack. Our first classroom is now Air Conditioned and we have added a third classroom.

All our equipment has been fully serviced and we have added many new BCDs and Regulators to our rental stock.

We have also got a new satellite shop at White Rock Resort in Klong Nin as well as Sita Travel in Phrae Ae (Long Beach) and Sonja Homestay in Klong Kong.

Come and join the fun

We would love to see our old friends again and always enjoy making new friends, so if you are still thinking about a holiday think about us and Koh Lanta. Our island is the best island in Thailand (so say TripAdvisor) that's why we come back time and time again. So if you are looking for the perfect holiday where you will meet great friends and have some unforgettable dives, come see us now!!!!!

Hope to see you soon Mellisa x
