    Corner Bar doesn't grab headlines like some of Koh Tao's deeper sites, but it's a solid choice for a chilled-out dive, especially if you're keen on exploring a different ecosystem. At a maximum depth of 15 metres, it's mostly about the expansive seagrass beds, which are surprisingly full of smaller, often overlooked critters. We’ve found everything from pipefish to juvenile reef sharks tucked away in the blades. It’s an ideal spot for macro enthusiasts and photographers looking to practice their skills without the pressure of strong currents or deep profiles. A good site for an easy second dive or for newer divers getting comfortable.
