This dive site, Aow Ta Lo Lancha, is situated north of Adang Island in Thailand, adjacent to the Koh Lancha dive site. It features a diverse topography ranging from a vibrant coral reef at approximately 10 meters depth to a sandy floor extending deeper, though the maximum recreational dive depth is 14 meters. The site offers relatively easy navigation, typically following the reef line before exploring the sandy areas for macro life. No specific historical details or stories are provided for this site.
Divers can expect to encounter a rich variety of soft and hard corals forming the reef system, providing habitat for numerous species of reef fish common to the Andaman Sea. Around the sandy expanses, keen observers can find interesting macro life, offering excellent opportunities for spotting small invertebrates, crustaceans, and unique critters.
The best time to visit Aow Ta Lo Lancha generally aligns with the dry season in Thailand, from November to April, when conditions are typically calm with excellent visibility. It is an ideal spot for beginner divers due to its shallow depths and gentle currents.
