Why dive here
With 54+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles, tiger sharks and pufferfish - Udi's Scuba diving offers some of Koh Tao's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
Udi's Scuba Diving, on Koh Tao's west coast, is one of those sites we always recommend for a relaxed afternoon dive, especially if you're looking for something a bit different. Forget the big swim-throughs and dramatic drop-offs; Udi’s is all about the smaller stuff, the creatures you really have to look for. We love kicking along the sand patches and finding Common Dragonets doing their mating dance, all flaring fins and shimmering colours. Seriously, it's like a tiny underwater ballet. Our favourite time to dive here is late afternoon, as the sun starts to dip a bit, softening the light. That's when you'll often spot the Blackspotted Rockskippers darting between the crevices, or maybe a Banded Freshwater Pipefish poking its head out from a bit of seagrass. The visibility can vary a bit with the tides, but generally, it’s clear enough to really appreciate the subtle patterns on a Honeycomb Grouper or the bright flash of a Blue and Gold Fusilier school passing by. It's a gentle dive, perfect for photographers or anyone who just wants to slow down and observe.
