Middle tree
Why dive here
With 54+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles, tiger sharks and pufferfish - Middle tree offers some of Koh Tao's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
Middle Tree, just off Koh Tao, is a gentle little dive, usually shallow, around 5-12 metres. It’s mostly sand and seagrass beds, so don't come expecting massive coral structures. What you will find are plenty of little critters: we've seen pipefish, juvenile reef fish, and sometimes even the odd turtle munching on the grass. It’s perfect for beginners, or anyone after a quiet, relaxed dive away from the busier spots.
