Koh Haa is a collection of five separate islands: Ko Haa Nueng, Ko Ha Song, Ko Ha See, Ko Ha Sam and Koh Haa Yai islands. There is a pinnacle at the northern end of Koh Haa Yai, that has earned a nickname of “Koh Haa 6” and is a dive site of its own with a wide variety of soft and hard corals occupied by various marine life. The location features a good resort along with nice bars and a great variety of restaurants, ranging from tasty Thai street food to delicious international cuisine. Generally, there are about 10 dive sites in Koh Haa suitable for scuba divers and snorkelers of all levels (depths vary from 4-50m/13-164ft). Divers can explore varied underwater topography, many swim-throughs, walls, caverns, inter-connected chambers, a chimney, reefs, lagoons and a wide variety of marine life. The three main dive sites include the Cathedral (the series of caverns and swim-throughs near Koh Haa Yai islands), the Chimney (near Ko Haa Nueng island) and the Lagoon.
