FRESH WATER-DIVING

Rajaprabha artificial lake (min. 3 persons)

Constructed in 1982, 120 km from Khao Lak. The 165 sqkm Rajaprabha artificial lake with its impressive landscape of limestone and sandstone rock certainly offers a different dive environment.
We organise diving trips from Khao Lak.

This is a 2-day-trip to the breathtaking landscape of Khao Sok national park. Past large caves and a Thai market, we arrive at our start point, The Rajaprabha Dam. As we arrive, a Long tail boat awaits us for a one-hour journey over the lake to the floating Bungalows, which is our overnight accommodation. The trip is nearly already alone worth the journey.

The floating Bungalows with an attached restaurant spoils us with fresh fish from the lake and other Thai delicacies. We have enough time to swim in the lake or go exploring on kayaks.

After breakfast we go for our first dive. We sink into a green world. A steep wall interspersed with small grottos and caves, dead giant trees covered with old fishing nets and large half blind catfish, which cross our ways. All this with a view of about 10-15 metres and a water temperature of 28 degrees!

After the first dive there is time to swim in the lake or relax in the bungalows before our second dive. The second dive takes us again into this bizarre underwater world. For more experienced divers we can make also dives into the thermo cline at 18 meters. Small sunbeams, which light your way in the darkness, let us think of a summer starlit sky.

After a lunch it is to time for the journey home and are usually back in Khao Lak by 17.00.

Naturally, non-divers are also welcome to experiences this unique area away from the mass tourism!
