Koh Tao, or in Thai ‘Turtle Island’, has always drawn sea-loving adventurers due to its mystical remote offshore location and reputation for an abundant, rich marine life. During the early days, this ex-penal colony outpost quickly became a hippie haven where local villagers survived on a subsistence of fishing and income from selling coconuts to the mainland.

​

I grew up spending endless summers with my mother, father and sister, together discovering this magical underwater realm as a family, all sharing the thought that this was a kind of underwater ‘Jurassic Park’ – priceless memories etched and forever treasured.

​

To this day, Koh Tao is still able to capture visitors’ imagination – with a beautiful granite rock shoreline, Thai fishing village small-island feel, turquoise blue warm waters, vibrant offshore underwater pinnacles populated with plentiful pelagic fish and the exciting opportunity of an encounter with a majestic whale shark.

Sea life has been and will always be an integral part of Koh Tao. At Reef Dive Centre, we hope our team of enthusiasts can showcase what it is that we love for you all to experience.
