Safety Stop Pub Koh Tao
Koh Tao, ThailandNamed after the diving safety stop at 5 meters, this dive-community bar and cafe is where instructors, dive masters, and divers gather after the last dive of the day. The fish and chips, cold Singha, and the wall-to-wall dive photography make it the most atmospheric post-dive hangout on the island.
