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
