February 2007 We had a great time with Palm Beach Divers, 1 month of diving nearly every other day !!! You have everything from seahorses, frogfish to Whale sharks !!! Thanks for the excellent service, Hendrik, Levke, D, Lee, Capt T, Lisa & Lars !!! We look at the video often ! Guys, for outstanding service and realy small groups go to Palm Beach Divers. Thanks also to Abdul for an excellent bungalow. See you next year ! Ed

April 2004 Great colours around the high parts of the rocks, I was mainly focused out blue on trying to see Whale Sharks, which everyone else was reporting to see apart from me.. Just no justice in the world.

May 2006 One of the best dives I ever had in my life. There are usually strong currents, but so worth it when the Mantas come out to feed. Best thing is that the Mantas don't just swim away, they circle around for us to marvel at them. This dive site is also fabulous because you just don't know where to look - there is so much life everywhere!

November 2004 A very nice and well organized dive shop! Love to go there again!!

April 2005 I saw a Whale Shark and many Manta Rays not to mention all the great small stuff - Nudibranches, Seahorses - these guys really know where to find all the best stuff! Narima Diving is such a friendly place (I've been back 4 times already after learning to dive there as a very nervous first timer!). I cannot recommend this dive centre highly enough. The staff are so patient and knowledgable and have a superb new dive boat. For people looking for a small and personal dive operation - these guys are definately no 1 on Lanta!!!!

January 2004 This island is close to Phi Phi but doesn't have any of the commercial growth. There are great dive sites within easy reach, and Lanta Diver is the best operation of anywhere around the world that I have used.
