DIVE SITESFrom Koh Samui there are three main dive destinations: Anthong Marine Park, Sail Rock and Koh Tao. Approximately 45 minutes speedboat journey north-west of Koh Samui, the Angthong Marine Park provided the inspiration behind the Leonardo Di Caprio film "The Beach". There are over 50 islands that make up the Marine Park and the famous "Emerald Lake" can be found on one of these islands. Click on photo for more details about the Marine Park
Approximately 45 minutes speedboat journey north from Koh Samui, between Koh Phangan and Koh Tao. Sail Rock is a pinnacle shaped like an iceberg that rises out of the water creating a fantastic wall dive. Sail Rock is stunning at depths of 5 metres and down to a maximum depth of 40 metres, so it is ideal for beginners and experienced divers alike. There are sometimes relatively strong currents on parts of the site, but the site is big enough for you to dive and avoid the current.
