This dive site is located at Laem Thien, a beautiful bay on the east coast of Koh Tao. It offers diving suitable for all experience levels. In the shallow areas, amongst granite boulders, you'll find a variety of hard corals providing shelter to numerous reef fish common in the Koh Tao area. Further out, where the rocks transition to large slabs, abundant soft corals await exploration. The dive typically concludes in the shallows with a large group of Weibel’s Butterflyfish, and as is customary on Koh Tao, a particularly impressive Titan Triggerfish resides here. This site is known for its diverse marine life and accessible diving.
