Diving Thailand Koh Tao

Dive Tour - Koh Tao

koh_tao_1_thailandKoh Tao, which means Turtle Island, is one of the most popular islands to go Scuba diving in Thailand. Its crystal clear waters and marine life make it the most favoured destination of all who dive here. It is amongst the first sites in Thailand and most of the local economy is dependant on this trade so conservation is a priority.  Koh Tao, or Turtle Island, is a beautiful island just 21km², located a short trip north of Koh Phangan and is vastly becoming the premier destination to gain an Open Water Diver certification in SE Asia.
