Night Diving in Koh Lipe – The Reef After Dark

When the sun goes down, the reef comes alive in a completely different way. Hunting lionfish, sleeping parrotfish, prowling crabs and shrimp, and — if you're lucky — the sparkle of bioluminescence in your torch beam. Our guided night dives in Koh Lipe are open to all certified divers, with torches provided and a sunset boat ride thrown in. Same reef, whole new world.

Your Journey

How Does a Night Dive Look?

Inside the La Bombona Diving dive centre on Koh Lipe

5:00 pm Meet at the Dive Center

We'll meet at our dive center in Koh Lipe for a relaxed briefing on how night diving works — using your torch, light signals for communicating underwater, and what nocturnal marine life to look out for.

5:45 pm Set Sail at Sunset

We'll board our comfortable boat and head out as the sun dips toward the horizon — the boat ride at golden hour is an experience in itself, and one of the most beautiful moments of the day on Koh Lipe.

6:30 pm Into the Dark

Torches on, we descend as the last light fades. Your guide will lead you over the reef in a small group, picking out hunting predators, sleeping fish tucked into the coral, and critters that only come out at night.

7:30 pm Back on Board

After around 45 minutes underwater, we surface beneath the stars. Warm up, swap stories, and enjoy snacks and refreshments on the ride home.

8:00 pm Back to Land

We'll be back at the dive center in the early evening — with plenty of time left to grab dinner on the island and relive the dive.

Your Dive Boat

Our dive boat is spacious, comfortable, and designed with divers in mind. It offers a smooth ride, space to gear up with ease, and a rooftop area to relax between dives. On a night dive it doubles as the best sunset spot on the island — and the comfiest place to warm up afterwards.

Frequently asked questions

Is night diving scary?

Less than you think. Your torch lights a cosy bubble of reef, your guide knows every inch of the site, and the fish are mostly asleep. Most divers surface wondering why they waited so long to try it.

What will I see?

Hunting morays and lionfish, sleeping parrotfish in their mucus cocoons, crustaceans everywhere — and bioluminescent plankton when you cover your torch and wave your hand.

Do I need to be certified to join a night dive?

Yes — night dives are open to certified divers from any recognised agency, with an Open Water certification as the minimum. Not certified yet? Our Open Water course has you covered.

What equipment do I need to bring?

All necessary equipment is provided by us, torches included. Just come prepared with swimwear, a towel and a sense of adventure!

What's not included in the price?

Just the Tarutao Marine Park fee (฿200 per diving day) and the mandatory dive insurance (70 THB).

How do I book?

Book online with a 1,000 ฿ deposit and pay the rest on the island, or message us on WhatsApp to grab your spot on the next sunset departure.
