Koh Tao Diving Tour from Koh Samui

Boat Trip and Preparation

• Our diving day begins as we set sail from Koh Samui towards Koh Tao. During the journey, you can enjoy the sea breeze while our team of certified PADI instructors gives you a comprehensive briefing. We’ll go through the plan for the day’s two dives, the highlights of each dive site and the safety procedures, making sure you’re fully prepared for the adventure ahead.

First Dive: Exploring the Coral Gardens

• We’ll arrive at one of Koh Tao’s many vibrant dive sites. On our first dive, you’ll descend into a spectacular underwater garden, exploring a world of soft and hard corals. We’ll look out for hidden octopuses, elegant butterflyfish and curious moray eels peeking out from between the rocks.

Surface Interval: Lunch with a View of Paradise

• After the first dive, we’ll return to the boat for a well-earned surface interval. Enjoy a delicious lunch, refreshing drinks and fresh fruit, all accompanied by spectacular views of Koh Tao’s coastline. It’s the perfect opportunity to share stories from your first dive and relax in the sunshine.

Second Dive: Encounters with Turtles and Sharks

• Once you’ve recharged your batteries, we’ll prepare for the day’s second dive at a different site. This time, we’ll focus on encounters with some of the island’s most iconic marine inhabitants. Keep an eye out for majestic sea turtles and experience the thrill of spotting shy but impressive blacktip reef sharks in their natural habitat.

Return to Koh Samui: The End of an Unforgettable Underwater Adventure

• With new entries in your dive logbook and memories of spectacular underwater encounters, we’ll begin the relaxing journey back to Koh Samui, bringing an exceptional day of diving in the Gulf of Thailand to a close.

Let’s Protect the Marine Treasures of the Gulf of Thailand.

We invite you to enjoy the reefs and marine life with respect. This fragile ecosystem depends on all of us to help preserve it for future generations.

Avoid touching or walking on corals, as they are living organisms that are extremely sensitive. Observe fish without chasing them or disturbing their natural behaviour.

Do not collect shells or other natural objects, as they are part of the ecosystem’s natural balance.

Where possible, use biodegradable sunscreen to help protect the coral reefs.

Small actions can make a big difference. Protecting this environment is the best way to ensure it can be enjoyed today and for years to come.

Booking notice: To secure your place, we recommend booking as far in advance as possible, especially during high season. Many of our tours have limited capacity and fill up quickly, so we cannot guarantee availability for bookings made only 1 or 2 days in advance.

Itinerary notice: To ensure your safety and the best possible experience, the order of the stops or the route may change without prior notice due to traffic, weather conditions or other external factors.

Restrictions: Pregnant women, people under 18 years old and with medical and/or back problems cannot join the tour.

Special requirements: Please inform us of any allergies or special requirements when making your booking so that we can make the necessary arrangements.

Accident insurance: To ensure the validity of the accident insurance, you must provide the full name, gender and passport number of all participants. Failure to provide this information may result in the cancellation of your booking. During high season, we recommend securing your place in advance.

Pick-ups: For group tours, our vehicle will pick up participants in sequence, so we kindly ask you to wait patiently at the entrance of your hotel. If you feel the wait is excessive, please contact the operator directly. If your accommodation is inaccessible to the vehicle, pick-up will take place at a nearby alternative meeting point agreed in advance.

Cancellation policy: You will find a brief description of our cancellation policy in the booking form. Please read it before booking. You can also view the full policy in the Terms and Conditions.

Questions or enquiries: Please contact us directly via WhatsApp and we will answer any questions as soon as possible.
