    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Ko Wao offers a relaxed dive in the Gulf of Thailand. We’ve found decent hard coral formations here, with plenty of small reef fish flitting about. It's a solid choice if you're looking for an easy-going dive, particularly good for those newer to diving or anyone wanting a chill afternoon in the water. Visibility can vary, but on a good day, it’s a pleasant spot for a couple of tanks.
