Just 20 minutes east of Chalok Bay, Tanote Bay is one of the most exciting shallow dive sites on Koh Tao, with a mix of coral gardens, granite boulders, a sunken catamaran wreck and artificial reef blocks.

There’s usually a huge school of fusiliers hanging in the blue that you can swim right through. You’ll see batfish, groupers, and rabbitfish around the structures. Look closer at the reef and you’ll find moray eels and colourful reef fish everywhere.
