Welcome to Aqualogy - Lanta's Tropical Marine Education Centre
Welcome to Aqualogy, Tropical Reef Education and Marine Ecology Centre. Based on the island of Ko Lanta in Thailand, we specialise in the study of Oceanography, Zoology, Fish Ecology and Marine Habitats within the area of Tropical Reef systems.
Love the Underwater World? Take one of our courses and prepare to take your passion to the next level as you learn about some of the fascinating facts our oceans can reveal.
Get even more out of every dive you make. Learn about the relationship between different reef organisms and gain a deeper understanding of the underwater world as a true eco-system.
Become aware of current conservation concerns and find out what you can do to help preserve and monitor our Coral Reefs for generations to come.
Experience some of the best diving in the world combined with hands-on education in ocean science with some of our dive courses in Thailand.
Diving Koh Lanta is more fun when you're equipped with advanced knowledge about marine life, because you understand more about the complex organisms you observe.
Located on Koh Lanta Island in Southern Thailand, our marine education and reef ecology centre is just a few steps away from the Andaman Sea.
As this is one of the most diverse areas of aquatic life on our planet, it is the perfect place to participate in hands-on marine biology research and truly appreciate the wealth of fish and plant life that can be seen whilst diving in these waters.
What to know more? Take a look at our Marine Science pages. We have information about Oceanography, Zoology, Fish Ecology and Marine Habitats. The Links pages give you some recommendations for further research and are catagorised by subject area, or we welcome you to contact us for further information.

Ko Lanta might be famous for its close proximity to the legendary dive sites of Hin Daeng & Hin Muang, and the beauty of Ko Haa, but there is an intrigueing abundance of wildlife much closer to the island’s own shores. Recently a friend and I decided to strap on a couple of tanks and dive the house reef at Kantiang Bay on the south west of Ko Lanta. We geared up and swam out from the beach about 100 yards sticking to the North Western coastline. Continue reading »

It was my second dive on the House Reef at Kan Tiang Bay and I was on a mission to spot a robust ghost pipefish in the muck of the bay. We set off at 11.30 am and blessed with the high tide we managed to swim easily all the way around the right hand corner and descended new the rocky outcrop right underneath Top View Resort. We spotted so many different species of nudibranchs (all of them I have never seen before), so we were really pleased with the dive. Continue reading »

During the last few weeks we have encountered Manta Rays (Manta birostris) on nearly every dive at the popular dive sites Hin Daeng and Hin Muang, located close to Ko Lanta in Thailand. We observed at least 5 different individuals, some of which were seen and photographed over several days. Continue reading »
