About this experience

Koh Tao is an island just north of Koh Samui and is an excellent choice for the variety of dive sites there. From shallow, rocky sites to huge pinnacles, and a wide array of hard and soft corals, not to mention an abundance of marine life, there really is something for everyone. Your day will start with us picking you up at your hotel approximately 7:00 am. We will take you to the pier where you can enjoy some light breakfast and coffee/tea and meet Discovery Divers Team.

The boat will leave the pier at 8:00 am.

It takes approximately 80 minutes to reach Koh Tao by speedboat.

Upon completion of the second dive the boat will return to Koh Samui, and you will be back at your resort around 3:30 pm.
