Koh Tao Diving - If there is only one activity you do on your travels make sure it is scuba diving, it truly can be a life changing experience, just ask some of the local dive professionals about diving and you will see that many of the “long termers” only planned to stay a short while before they got bitten by the underwater bug.
What is scuba diving? SCUBA is an acronym for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus and was designed and first used by Emile Gagnan and Jacques-Yves Cousteau, back in the 60’s. The equipment has come a long way since then however, it uses the same basic principle.
You breathe compressed air from a cylinder mounted on a buoyancy control device (usually worn
like a jacket). Controlling your buoyancy using the device and the air in your lungs is something you learn on the course and once mastered allows you to experience the wonderful feeling of weightlessness. People describe scuba diving as like visiting outer space, it is true that the underwater world is alien to most non divers and the strange equipment and zero gravity feeling adds to the otherworldly feeling.
Koh Tao has been famous as a scuba divers paradise for years. It offers some of Thailand’s best diving at very affordable prices. The spectacular submerged pinnacles and colourful coral reefs are home to a wealth of interesting sea creatures. Rays and eels, exotic reef fish and a variety of other marine life await you.
