Top 10 Things to do Adventurous in Koh Tao, Surat Thani Province

December 10, 2021 Merry Kessler

Drifting serenely in the Gulf of Thailand, the palm-fringed island of Ko Tao takes its name from the abundant sea turtles that reside on its shores. White sand beaches sheltered by steep hills – some only accessible with four-wheel drive vehicles – and 300 days of sun per year invite long afternoons of lounging.

Located in Mae Haad just a couple of minutes walk from all the main arrival piers We teach scuba diving courses of all levels from try diving and Open Water up to professional level dive training, including a wide range of specialty diving, as well as fun diving trips on a daily basis. We are the only dedicated Dutch-speaking dive school on Koh Tao, although of course, other languages are accommodated too. To guarantee consistency in quality and safety standards, all courses and fun dives are guided by full-time staff, no use freelancers. After dive boats have returned, it is normal to see our staff and customers mingling and chatting together on their decking. This makes us a great choice as there is a great social element to the dive school. Naturally, we are passionate about the environment by helping the ‘Save Koh Tao’ group to monitor dive sites and being member of Green Fins Thailand.
