Remark :
 

§Please note that it is a monsoon season on the east coast during mid-October and mid-December. However, divers can still enjoy some of the dive sites sheltered by the island itself. There might be a few service interruptions on the ferry from Chumphon to Ko Tao and in that case, we will reroute the trip via Ko Samui instead. Those arriving during the monsoon period should contact our local office prior to the commencement of the trip.
