can mix it up a bit and enjoy something life changing as well as the indulgence
of lounging on the beach. Within an hour and twenty minutes of Koh Samui is Koh
Tao where there are wonderful sites for divers of all levels and experiences.
Spend a day or two outside your luxury Koh Samui villa and instead take a
trip down the coast and enjoy one of these exhilarating dive sites.
Chumporn Pinnacle
Chumporn Pinnacle is only 7 minutes by speedboat from the
north of Koh Tao and is considered one of the best dive sites the island has to
offer. There are four interconnected underwater pinnacles which take you from
14m below water to 36m below water. It’s designed mainly for experienced divers
and there’s the chance to see whale sharks, barracuda, schools of snapper and
hundreds of beautiful pink anemones clinging to the pinnacle itself.
Twins
Twins is one of the most popular dive areas and is made up
of two submerged pinnacles, hence the name. They can be dived by divers of all
experiences as the maximum depth is only 20m. It is home to the clark’s
anemones and you might also see stingrays, moray eels and young angelfish as
you dive around the Twins.
Mango Bay
Mango Bay is heralded as one of the most beautiful sites to
dive. Its bay too is well regarded and it’s the perfect site for complete
beginners as well as students. Along the reef you can spot groupers, blue
spotted stringrays, angelfish and beautiful butterflyfish. You may even see a
seahorse if you’re very lucky.
Diving in Koh Tao is the perfect excursion during your Koh
Samui holiday so make sure you give it a go.
