Scuba, Technical & Cave Diving in Koh Lanta
A SMALL FAMILY-RUN DIVE SHOP
OK Club Diving Center is located on Koh Lanta in Thailand. We are a small family-run dive shop, and this is exactly the atmosphere we want to share with our customers: personal, welcoming, relaxed, and focused on quality rather than crowds. Our goal is to make every diver and snorkeler feel comfortable, safe, and at home both above and below the surface.
DAY TRIPS FOR ALL LEVEL OF DIVING AND SNORKELING
We arrange scuba diving and snorkeling day trips and scuba diving courses for all levels of divers — from beginners to professional-level training as well as cave and technical diving.
SMALL GROUPS AND FIRST AT THE DIVE SITES
We keep the groups small and are the first boat to leave in the morning, allowing our guests to reach the dive sites early and enjoy the best conditions before the other boats arrive. Our dive trips explore some of the most beautiful dive sites in the Andaman Sea, including Koh Haa, Koh Phi Phi, Hin Daeng and Hin Muang, where divers can encounter vibrant beautiful coral reefs and diverse marine life.
PERSONAL GUIDANCE WITH MULTILINGUAL INSTRUCTORS
Our experienced multilingual instructors are passionate about diving education and safety. We take teaching seriously while making every course and dive enjoyable and fun. Whether you are taking your first breaths underwater, continuing your diving education, or stepping into the world of technical and cave diving, we promise to give you the time, attention, and professional guidance you need.
THE ONLY TECHNICAL AND CAVE DIVING CENTER IN KRABI AREA
We are also the only dive center on the island that offers technical and cave diving courses. We teach according to the highest standards at dive sites in the Krabi and Nakhon area, and the Andaman Sea. Our technical training ranges from Tek Lite Essentials and Advanced EANx to Cavern Diver, Introductory Cave Diver, and full Cave Diver certifications, including sidemount and technical sidemount programs.
THE TEAM
ANDRE LONGCHAMPS
After many hard working years in the food industry, André decided to spend his holidays in Egypt in 2010, with friends who were already certified scuba divers. At this time he had no interest in scuba diving.
This holiday was life changing. After his first dive, André decided to become a scuba diver and two years later he became an instructor. His new job gave him a possibility to travel and gain work experience in Egypt, Turkey, France and Thailand.
André also enjoys jumping out of airplanes and is a skydiving coach. So when he is not in the ocean, you might see him in the sky.
SAARA LONGCHAMPS
Saara has a background in the media industry, but also many years of work experience in restaurant and hospitality business. She has always loved travelling and exploring new cultures and places. During her travels around South East Asia, she visited Krabi in Thailand, and immediately felt like home. She soon fell in love with scuba diving and started her career in this fascinating underwater industry.
Today, Saara is living her dream, as she combines her media skills with scuba diving and the amazing underwater world.
SERGEY GONCHARENKO Founder
Instructor and founder of Abyss in St. Petersburg (Russia) and OK Club Thai on Koh Lanta (Thailand).
Sergey had his first underwater experience in 2007 and became a PADI Instructor in 2009, followed by his certification as TDI-SDI Instructor. He worked in many places like Indonesia, Thailand, Norway and Egypt and was a high-skilled instructor whose love and passion for the sea were endless. Sergey suddenly passed away in 2017 (non-diving incident) and we are keeping his legacy alive.
ALJA SIEBER
Alja worked most of her career as a Philanthropy specialist for the Red Cross, raising funds for humanitarian work. After years in the office, she decided to trade her desk for the underwater world — a place that had always fascinated her.
Now, as an SSI Instructor, Alja enjoys introducing beginners to the magic of diving and helping more experienced divers feel confident and even more at ease beneath the surface.
FELIX DESCHENES
Felix has been diving since 2016 and has shared his passion professionally as an instructor since November 2017. In 2020, he expanded his skills to become both a full cave and sidemount diver.
He has taught in stunning locations all around the world — with most of his time spent in Thailand, Malaysia, and Mexico — always bringing a friendly, patient approach to every dive.
If he’s not underwater, you’ll probably find him on a long walk with his dogs, enjoying the simple moments between adventures.
IORITZ VILLANUEVA
Ioritz has been living the ocean life for over three years. In the water all year round, he works as a sailing instructor in the summer and as an underwater photographer in the winter.
He has also worked in hospitality, where he learned a great deal about people — how to connect, communicate, and create memorable experiences. Having traveled extensively, different places and cultures have shaped the way he sees the ocean and the world.
Diving changed his life. Beneath the surface, he found his passion, his career, and a new perspective.
