Why dive here
With 158+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, blue-spotted stingrays, mobula rays (devil rays), whale sharks and pufferfish - Tanote Bay offers some of Gulf of Thailand's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
Tanote Bay, over on Koh Tao, is a pretty chill shore dive, perfect for warming up or shaking off the rust. You’ll find boulders and small coral patches closer to shore, with a few resident reef fish like parrotfish and angelfish hanging about. Deeper out, the sand gives way to some larger rock formations. It’s a gentle spot, great for new divers or anyone wanting an easy afternoon in the water.
