Koh Tao, north of Koh Phangan, is one of the world's most popular places to learn to dive, thanks to warm, clear water and coral reefs close to shore. Away from busy Sairee Beach, its coves and granite headlands are beautiful and peaceful, and the islet of Koh Nang Yuan, linked by sandbars, is just offshore.
Sairee Beach has the restaurants and bars. The hillsides above it and the bays on the east and south coasts are quieter, with sea views.
Roads are steep and rough; many places offer transfers or are reached by longtail boat. The best diving season is from March to September.
