    Description
    The English to Thai translation of Koh Tao is “Turtle Island”. It was originally named by local fisherman and settlers who described a turtle shape when looking at the island from their boats. The island does have a healthy population of sea turtles with both Hawksbill and Green turtles living in the waters off the island. They are a common sight for divers when they are out fun diving or taking a diving course. Koh Tao is known for beeing one of the best places to learn to dive, and yet see beautiful coral reefs with plenty of fishes Koh tao complete guide: https://www.kohtaocompleteguide.com/diving/koh-tao-dive-sites/

    Information about the site
    A shallow bay dive, Tanote Bay descends down a rocky pinnacle in the middle of the bay. Main thing to look out for here is some big coral trout and snapper that hide out at about 8-11m and for the six banded angelfish that go around in pairs. A better site for snorkelling, Tanote Bay also produces good conditions for a second dive after Hin Wong or Laem Tien.
