Scubafish divers can now benefit from the new Skills Polish course from Liquid Lense.
Liquid Lense - Ko Lanta’s Underwater Digital Imaging Academy - has added a great new course to its range of Underwater Photography & Videography courses. The new Skills Polish Course is a one-day refresher session available for divers who have some experience of underwater photography already, but would like to polish up on their skills at the start of their diving holiday.
‘For most budding underwater photographers, the chance to get in the water with a camera only comes around a couple of times a year. So it makes perfect sense to brush up on skills at the start of a diving holiday. That way, you know for certain that the photos you take will match your expectations and make for enjoyable memories for many years to come.’ says Phil, of Liquid Lense.
For more details on our Skills Polish course, visit our Academy or book yourself in for a Skills Polish as part of your dive package with Scubafish.

Report the number of Sharks, Rays and Skates you see on every dive you make - even if it’s zero!
Take part in the on-line Global Shark Assessment Survey.
The Global Shark Assessment is a project that aims to evaluate how shark populations have changed since the beginning of industrial-scale fishing, and make predictions about how these populations will respond to global climate change and to different methods of fishing and protection. They use scuba diver’s observations to census shark populations at different locations around the world. Continue reading »

Ko Lanta is a fairly unusual island in this area, in that it does not have a coral reef around the island. Here in Kantiang Bay, in the South of Ko Lanta, we are one of the only beaches on the island to have any coral reef growth.
After conducting some exploratory dives on the Kantiang Bay House Reef we’ve observed some extremely interesting macro life. There are colonies of nudibranches that we’ve never seen on other dive sites in the area, as well as many species of juvenile fish, small rays and anemones. There are even some small Gorgonian Sea Fans and Table Corals. Just on our doorstep is an area of bio-diversity that we never even knew about! Continue reading »

During the last few weeks we have encountered Manta Rays (Manta birostris) on nearly every dive at the popular dive sites Hin Daeng and Hin Muang, located close to Ko Lanta in Thailand. We observed at least 5 different individuals, some of which were seen and photographed over several days. The Manta’s name comes from the Spanish word for blanket and refers to their enormous size. They can grow up to 8m in width, up to 3 tons in weight and the maximum reported age of a specimen is 20 years. The world’s largest ray lives singly or in loose aggregations and is mainly found in or near shore areas where water is shallow. It is distributed circumtropical and feeds on plankton and small fish. Manta rays frequently visit cleaner stations, where wrasses and other species of fish clean the giant ray’s skin of parasites and dead skin. Continue reading »
