iQ-Dive is a PADI 5 Star Dive Center located in Khao Lak, Thailand, just some 60 minutes north from the Phuket International Airport.

We offer scuba diving and snorkeling daytrips, overnight and liveaboard cruises to the famous Similan Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, Richelieu Rock, Myanmar (Burma) and Indonesia and of course the complete PADI educational program from beginner to pro! 

We have successfully been operating in Khao Lak on Thailand's West Coast since 1996.

The iQ-Dive center is managed by Swiss scuba diving instructor Ernst Schläpfer and his Thai wife Meaw. 

In the early years, Khao Lak was just an insider tip amongst backpackers. Eventually Khao Lak gained international recognition among scuba divers due to its geographically perfect loaction, right opposite to the Similan Islands, one of the world's top ten diving and snorkeling destinations. 



What started as a relatively small operation, fast became a large, highly professional and efficient PADI 5-Star dive center that is now one of the biggest in the area. The iQ-Dive team's goal is to provide a maximum of safety, professionalism and fun for its guests. 

Khao Lak is is the ideal place to relax for families with children.

The Khao Lak Lamru national park area features pristine beaches, dense tropical rain forest, waterfalls and endless opportunities for outdoor activities like jeep safaris, canoeing, elephant trekking, hiking to the nearby waterfalls and more.

We arrange local day trips -

One of the half day trip sites is the outstanding wreck diving site "Boonsong". Here you will find an old tin mining boat which sank in 1984 and which rests in a depth of 20 meters. The boxing day Tsunami of 2004 separated the wreck into three parts, making the dive site bigger and even more attractive. Full day trips visit the famous Similan Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock.
