    Boran Beach is a mellow introduction to Koh Tao's underwater world, topping out at 13 meters. It’s a comfortable spot for newer divers to practice skills or just get comfortable in the water. We often see whip rays resting on the sand and the occasional small reef shark passing through the bommies. It’s a good, easy dive for shaking off the rust.
