Koh Tao is the most popular island for divers far and wide. The deep water around (around 30m mark) ensures exceptionally good visibility and a rich range of marine life, including turtles, which is why there feels like there are more dive schools than bars on this island.

The longest and most developed beach on the island with a variety of restaurants, coffee shops, diving centers and bars is Sairee Beach. But there are nicer beaches, a bit hidden but easily accessible with a private yacht.

Please note: Water sports are prohibited in the national park. If you would like to take advantage of such opportunities (e.g. water slide), please discuss this with the captain so that he can take you to a place where you can do so undisturbed.
