Koh Tao, Thailand

About 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.

HTMS Sattakut Wreck Dive

A US Navy minesweeper sunk in 2011 specifically to create a dive site, now lying at 30 meters with coral growth, lionfish, scorpionfish, and resident moray eels throughout the 57-meter hull. The most accessible wreck dive in the Gulf of Thailand for Advanced divers.

🏔️

Shark Bay (Thian Og Bay) Koh Tao

A sheltered bay where juvenile blacktip reef sharks can be reliably spotted in the shallow waters - one of the few places in the world where you can snorkel with sharks without diving certification. The sharks are small, completely harmless, and the snorkeling from the beach is exceptional.
