This dive site, known as Twins or Twin Peaks, is a renowned spot in Koh Tao, famous for its two prominent underwater rock formations. These rocks descend from approximately 7 meters, with deeper sections extending towards 20 meters in certain areas, though the dive site's maximum recommended depth for exploration is typically 14 meters. This creates a fascinating topography for exploration, making it accessible and enjoyable for all skill levels, especially with its consistently good visibility.
The vibrant ecosystem at Twins supports a diverse range of marine life. Divers can expect to encounter an array of reef fish such as the colorful Blue Ringed Angel and playful Clownfish. Moray Eels often hide within crevices, while Stingrays can be found gliding across the sandy bottom. Keep an eye out for majestic Hawksbill and Green Sea Turtles, and you might also spot pelagic species like Trevallies and Yellowtail Barracudas in the open water.
With consistently good visibility, Twins is an exceptional location for underwater photography, offering clear shots of both macro and wide-angle subjects. The site is suitable for diving year-round, though conditions can vary with seasons. Its relatively shallow average depth also makes it excellent for extended bottom times and perfect for both snorkelers and freedivers looking to experience Koh Tao's underwater beauty.
