    Ao Khai Koh Chan, off Koh Tao, is a good spot for a relaxed dive. We've often seen turtles munching on the reef here, and there are usually plenty of reef fish flitting around the scattered bommies. It’s generally pretty mellow, making it a comfortable dive for newer divers or those looking for an easy second tank.
