Willkommen bei The Dive Zone !

Wir moechten auf diesem Wege allen unseren lieben Freunden und Kunden ein herzliches Dankeschoen sagen und allen unseren Tauchfreunden mitteilen, das seit dem 01.12.01 The Dive Zone Co. Ltd. auf Koh Lanta in Thailand nicht mehr existiert. Wir heben unsere Pforten auf Ko Lanta fuer immer geschlossen ! 

Wir haben diese Entscheidung nicht nur im Hinblick auf die juengsten Ereignisse getroffen, sondern auch weil wir keine allzu rosige Zunkunft fuer den Tauchtourismus Thailand sehen . Weitere Details hierzu in der Bangkok Post : http://scoop.bangkokpost.co.th ! In nur sieben Jahren of operation we have seen such a dramatic reduction in fish stock at our coral reefs and watched the National Park Authority of Thailand turn their heads and say "Mai Pen Rai " ( never mind ). Yet at the same time these same people are quite willing to charge the diving tourist a hefty 200.- Baht per person per day to enter the confines of their "national park". It seems as if the Ko Lanta diving industry was being used to finance some entrepreneurial undertaking of the National Park Authority !  The last time we looked, there were about half a dozen fishing boats dragging their nets across Hin Daeng and Hin Muang as well as  Koh Ha, a mini archipelago which, as recently as five years ago, was home to several species of shark, schools of Rainbow Runners and barracuda, large snapper and stingrays, all of which by now have all but disappeared .

This, amongst a million other reasons is why we have decided to call it quits and shut our doors and we wish our numerous friends and loyal customers not to be sad about our demise ! Thank you all for your continued support and patronage ! Without you we would have died a much sooner and more painful death. There are numerous dive destination around the world and we might be seeing each other in any of them !

Thank you again for your continued support and patronage, we shall always keep you in our hearts. Feel free to come back regularly to this site as well as the unoriginal Koh Lanta Dot Com for updates on the situation in Ko Lanta as well as Thailand. Also check out The Dive Zone hall of fame in www.kolanta.com

Vielen herzlichen Dank speziell an Juergen Heinl fuer sein überschwengliches ( und völlig unverdientes ) Lob in http://www.taucher.net / .
