Diving On Koh Tao In Thailand

Diving is by far the biggest attraction on Ko Tao, and it's easy, fun, and you will see many fish, perhaps even turtles, stingrays, barracudas, sharks and even a reef shark whale, if you're lucky
You can get a good time to dive in Koh Tao in November, when the sea is rough and the visibility is less than normal. The visibility can be over 40 meters during the remainder of the year.
You will find many dive centers on the island, and some of them offer accommodation. Also, remember that if you read, the housing is free, the PM Not really, because they offer discounts if you stay elsewhere.
In 2006, they will be paid in the region of 10,000 BHT a PADI Open Water, and this should be the new PADI manual, good teaching professional, rental equipment, dive boat, etc. It can be the insurance and includes simple accommodation, but since about teaching methods and look a lot may vary.

Here are some suggestions for avoiding transactions that use swimming pools to teach them ??ll seems cold, boring, and unhygienic, bearing in mind that the area is popular for diving, and literally hundreds of students.
Choose the one to take you to a private beach so you can see fish and corals is now much more interesting and probably more dives!
There is also a good idea, a dive center, their own private dock has to find, so I won, AOT has to climb over other boats at the dock, even if he won, leading to AOT's dive team, by a trainee Dive Master have to be displaced. You should also ask how many students are in their group, there must be more than a handful, when you say it is more than ten then look elsewhere. Want personal classes for something important like this, and you want the frame is really nice.
If you are looking for specific dive schools, while the list is not exhaustive, is at least a starting point.
1st Coral Grand. Located in a much quieter to other dive schools on the other end of the beach compared, the hotel is top of the range of most of the island, although the "free" spaces remain critical. Works with two dive boats, plus a fast boat.
2nd Divepoint. Located in Mae Haad beach. Divers are probably the most beautiful island dive boat, large enough not to have to lead his team in the country. PADI and SSI.
