Koh Larn Diving Trip Raises Safety Concerns After Storm Scare

A tourist has called for better safety standards after claiming passengers on a Koh Larn diving trip were left in the water as a storm approached. She said tourists entered the sea as usual, despite worsening wind and waves, and only learned of the danger after a staff member returned to the boat warning of the storm. As conditions deteriorated, passengers struggled to climb back onto the rocking vessel while life buoys were pushed away by the waves. The tourist said she, her sister, and other passengers had to seek help from nearby boats and jet ski staff during the frightening incident. No injuries or deaths were reported, but the tourist criticised the lack of warnings, staff support, and follow-up explanation from the tour operator.
