Infos about dive sites
SAIL ROCK has everything to offer from macro diving to whale sharks, the bio-diversity and number of marine life found over there is really impressive.
Sail Rock has an amazing chimney. You can go inside using one of the 3 entrances which are at 5, 13 and 19 meters deep.
If you have a good buoyancy, we like to go through the canyon, which is quite shallow and very narrow! Its a good exercice to go through when we do some buoyancy specialty course.
As several smaller scattered rocks surround the main rock, we can dive around.
KOH TAO or ANTHONG: Around Koh Tao, there are a lot of dive spots in the bays. There, it is very easy diving for beginners but you wont see as many fishes as in Sail Rock. Anthong is a beautiful archipelago located west of Koh Phangan & Koh Samui. It consists of over 50 islands and an emerald salt water lake. The best diving area located at the northern part of the archipelago its 3 dive sites where we are used to go. READ MORE
HAAD YAO or KOH MAA: Had Yao is a shallow dive site where you really get long dives, with an impressive diversity of marine life from the porcupine puffer fish to the flat worm, without forgetting the sting ray and anemone fish. The dive sites are around the small island oh Koh Maa, located in the north of Koh Phangan. READ MORE
SWIMMING POOL: We teach in a very nice swimming pool facing the sea. SEE PICTURE
