Koh Samui Dive Sites
Information
 Ko
Samui is Thailand's third largest island and much of it is still
covered by coconut plantations, verdant clad jungle and rugged mountains
of granite that roll down into the cool clear waters of its azure
sea. The island itself lays 35kms to the east of Surat Thani, its
provincial mainland capital and measures 21km long by 25km wide.
Nowadays it is a preferred base for divers who are looking for an
up-market western infrastructure in the Gulf of Thailand when compared
to what's available on Koh Tao.
 5-star
resort accommodation, Tesco Lotus, two international hospitals,
with two more on the way, an international re-compression chamber,
an international airport, a golf course, banks, restaurants including
all the major fast food chains such as McDonalds, Burger King, Pizza
Hut, Hagen-Daas, Baskin Robins plus extensive tour and adventure
activities make Koh Samui a comfortable upcoming high-end resort
destination and all of the dive sites that are dived from Koh Tao
are accessible from Koh Samui though the dive journeys are longer.
