Saxophone Koh Lan

Saxophone Koh Lan is a tropical island dive site near Pattaya, known for easy access from the mainland and gentle depths. The site typically features sandy to mixed seabed with small reefs and patches of hard coral around the island, making it suitable for beginners and drift-safe conditions in calm seas. Expect calm, warm water with visibility often in the few to several meters range, and a variety of small reef fish, parrotfish, and occasional larger species around the outer edges. Entry is straightforward from a beach or boat depending on conditions, with gentle currents and a short swim from the surface to the reef shelves. The Koh Lan area is usually accessed from Pattaya with short boat rides and local dives operators offering guided dives. Note that conditions can vary with the monsoon season; always check local briefings for current visibility and swell.
