Tanote Bay
Tanote Bay is a beautiful dive site on the east coast of Koh Tao. The reef starts right at the shore and reaches over the whole bay. The edge of the reef is at a depth between 8 and 15 meters. Besides the Katamaran Wreck at 18m, Tanote Bay has different artificial reef constructions as well as small caverns!
Tanote Bay is one of the most diverse dive sites on the island. Besides a large field of soft corals, you can see a large variety of hard corals as well as anemones, sea turtles, and stingrays.
