Coco Dive Center - Koh Tao

Well, this is an interesting one. It seems Coco Dive Center, despite its name often appearing in searches for Koh Tao, actually operates out of Phu Quoc, Vietnam. Their website confirms it: http://www.cocodivevietnam.com/phuquoc.shtml. So, if you’re planning a trip to Thailand’s Turtle Island hoping to dive with them, you’ll be out of luck. For Koh Tao diving, we’d suggest exploring the many excellent local shops actually based on the island.
