Koh Tao is the small island in the Gulf of Thailand that was discovered to have clear warm waters with great coral reef.
It can be hard to know what to choose in a dive shop- especially if you are new to the sport of Scuba Diving, I like the smaller places that also have high standards. What can you expect from your stay in Ko Tao?
Annoyingly mopeds and bikes use the main path above the beach and first line of developments so its not possible to wander relaxed style when its busy, getting around by public transport is not as cheap as it could be ,so like ko phangan people tend to rent their own mopeds and hence the gridlock.
But on to some good stuff - the diving is very good, great to learn in and you will also enjoy a few dives if you are experienced. Diving is the main reason people make the boat rides to this island paradise after all.
