    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Tao Tong is a shallow, sheltered spot, perfect for new divers finding their fins or for those wanting a relaxed refresh. We've seen plenty of juvenile snapper and damselfish darting amongst the coral patches here. With a maximum depth of 9m, it’s a good place to work on buoyancy without feeling rushed. Ideal for a first open water dive.
