Scuba Diving
Koh Tao is, without question, Thailand's #1 scuba diving destination, with some of Asia's top dive sites located around this beautiful island!

"Turtle Island" is also Asia's premier Instructor Development center (IDC's) for all pro qualifications such as Divemaster or Instructor.

Bouldering
Away from diving, another popular sport is "Bouldering", a different style of rock climbing. The huge natural granite boulders of Koh Tao lend themselves to a form of climbing known as, surprisingly, "Bouldering".

This is the perfect mirror to the more traditional climbing in the southern provinces of Krabi, Phang-Nga and Trang. Whatever your level of climbing experience, bouldering will test the most talented climbers.
