Scuba
diving is truly an adventure and Koh Tao's shallow
bays and coves offer excellent conditions for beginners
as well as experienced divers. Add to that the absurdly
cheap prices for both courses and fun dives and you will
understand why Koh Tao has evolved into one of South
East Asia's premier diving
destinations.
For the more adventurous divers, most of the diving
resorts and schools offer guided trips to the offshore pinnacles
that are scattered around Koh Tao.
