Tanote Bay Koh Tao

The most beautiful bay on Koh Tao's eastern coast - a protected cove with crystal-clear water, excellent shore diving among giant boulders, and a remote location that requires a 30-minute walk or longtail taxi. The underwater landscape of the bay, with massive granite formations, is unlike any other dive on the island.
