Koh Tao is a small island in the Gulf of Thailand. Part of the Samui Archipelago it has

“Koh Tao island is like paradise on earth. If you don’t like cheap alcohol, great food and beautiful surroundings don’t bother going” James, UK

a big reputation for diving and diver training. The island is developing but still retains it’s rustic island charm, development having been restricted and as a consequence buildings remain low level and are mostly hidden amongst the palm trees that line the beaches.

Koh Tao enjoys a twelve month scuba diving season due to it’s relatively sheltered location within the Gulf of Thailand. There are over 20 top dive sites near the island with the stunning Ang Tong Marine Park to the south west.

Sairee is Koh Tao's longest beach lining the west coast. It’s the best place to stay with a great mix of restaurants, bars and shops within short walking distance without being over developed and is the location of the main DJL dive shop.

Koh Tao isn’t just a dive island but a large percentage of visitors come here to dive. Besides the diving island attractions include a wide variety of watersports and a vibrant social scene.
