    Charactermax 13m

    Koh Kham sits on the quieter side of Koh Tao, a mellow spot perfect for newer divers or a relaxed second dive. The maximum depth of 13m keeps things comfortable as you explore the gentle slopes. We often see whip corals and small groups of snapper here, a calm introduction to the area's shallower reefs. It's a good place to work on buoyancy without strong currents.
