What I did:

  • Got my open water scuba diving license
  • Started my advanced diving course and dived to 98 feet
  • Dived at two shipwrecks
  • Hung out with new friends

Thoughts on the place:

Koh Tao. Damn. This place is beautiful. Tiny but beautiful. I am immensely glad I decided to go and sort out my scuba license here because it unlocked a new island for me that I will be going back to happily. I fucking loved this spot and the diving instructors at DPM Diving were phenomenal teachers to the point where I actually now feel comfortable diving even at 98 feet or in a shipwreck. All I can say is this: Get to Koh Tao and dive!

Tips:

  1. Use DPM Diving, they get you in the water fast and safely. The other schools focus on pool days which are just a waste of time
  2. Scooters are unnecessary if you’re staying right on Sai Ri Beach and not planning on moving much beyond the dive schools
  3. The staff at Lomprayah Ferries ticket office on the island are great and very accommodating if you want to leave early to catch a flight in Koh Samui
