Shallow Koh Haa #3 lagoon for beginner scuba and calm-weather snorkel.
Boat trips from Koh Lanta are the normal way to reach Koh Haa #3.
Koh Haa #3 is the shallow lagoon-side dive in the Koh Haa group, known for beginner scuba, navigation practice, and an easy first look at the archipelago's coral. The center stays calm and simple, while the outer ridges and pinnacles add hard and soft coral, a swim-through, and more structure for a second pass. It is usually reached by boat from Koh Lanta, and the best planning window is the dry season when the park is open and the water is clearest.

Scuba Diving
Best as a relaxed boat dive: work the shallow center first, then fan out to the coral ridges and pinnacles for a second pass.
Freediving
Only a secondary use case for confident freedivers on very settled days; keep to the sheltered lagoon rather than the outer pinnacles.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling works best in the sheltered lagoon on calm days, and is much more limited once you move toward the outer ridge.
