    Laem Farang is a relaxed, shallow dive on Koh Tao's west coast, perfect for beginners and training dives. Dropping to 14 meters, it offers calm conditions to spot smaller reef fish among the scattered coral bommies. We often see blue-spotted rays resting on the sandy patches and juvenile snapper schooling in the nooks. It’s a gentle introduction to diving here.
