Chumphon Pinnacle
Koh Tao's most famous dive. Giant granite pinnacles blanketed in soft coral, huge schools of chevron barracuda, grouper, and regular whale shark sightings.
We run daily dives to the best sites around Koh Tao and the surrounding area. Site selection depends on weather, conditions and your group's certification level — we always explain the day's choice at the morning briefing.
Koh Tao's most famous dive. Giant granite pinnacles blanketed in soft coral, huge schools of chevron barracuda, grouper, and regular whale shark sightings.
A retired Thai navy vessel deliberately sunk off Koh Tao. Now covered in coral and home to lionfish, moray eels, batfish, and a hauntingly beautiful swim-through interior.
A series of pinnacles with beautiful hard and soft corals. Large pelagics, leopard sharks resting on the sand, and schooling trevally make this a highlight.
Famous for its resident blacktip reef sharks in shallow water. Perfect for newer certified divers and those wanting a guaranteed wildlife encounter.
Diverse and colourful reef with staghorn coral gardens, moray eels, octopus and butterflyfish. A beautiful all-rounder suitable for all certification levels.
A sheltered bay on Koh Tao's east coast with calm, clear water. Rocky outcrops covered in hard coral, resident turtles, and a relaxed atmosphere perfect for all levels.

Our own 3 boats — no sharing with strangers or big dive operators. Your group, your boat, your schedule.
Small groups mean your divemaster can actually guide you, not just lead a procession. Better dives, better safety.
We know where the whale sharks are, where the currents run, and which sites are best for the day's conditions.
Our boats leave from the beach, not a pier. Less walking, less waiting — more time in the water.
"Three days, 6 dives, three whale shark sightings. I'm not even joking. The divemaster knew exactly where to go. Chumphon Pinnacle is absolutely insane."
"Small group, super knowledgeable team, boat leaves right from the beach. No faff. I've dived with big operators in Thailand before — Carabao is a completely different level."
"Stayed for a week and did 10 dives. The 10-dive package was brilliant value. Chumphon Pinnacle was the highlight — the thermocline hits you and suddenly there are hundreds of fish."

No — we have full rental equipment available for 200 THB per dive. Just bring your certification card, a swimsuit, and a towel. If you have your own gear, there's no rental fee.
We keep groups to a maximum of 6 divers per divemaster. This is stricter than most operators — it means better diving, better safety, and a much better experience.
Site selection is based on weather, sea conditions, your group's certification level, and what's been active that day. We'll always tell you the plan in the morning briefing and explain why we've chosen those sites.
Absolutely — many of our divers do 4 dives a day. Just let us know and we'll plan your day accordingly. A surface interval of at least 1 hour between two-tank dives is required.
Koh Tao is one of the most reliable spots in Southeast Asia for whale shark encounters, particularly at Chumphon Pinnacle and Southwest Pinnacle. Sightings are common but never guaranteed — nature is wild. We keep you posted if there are recent reports.
