Koh Tao & Koh Phangan diving sites
|
More than 70 islands, including the 3 world-famous islands of Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao make this area one of the most famous dive sites in Thailand.
Access is very convenient by plane or can be arranged more cheaply by taking the bus and a speedboat. Thousands of hotels and restaurants, and almost a hundred dive shops make planning your scuba adventures easier.
Koh Samui and Koh Phangan are recommended if your emphasis is not specifically on diving. However, if you especially enjoy the underwater world, Koh Tao should be your first choice for learning how to dive.
