One of the joys of diving on Koh Tao during Christmas is the opportunity to encounter unique marine species that make an appearance during this time of year. Well, ok they don’t wear Xmas outfits but they still look cool.
The underwater world becomes a living, breathing Christmas spectacle, creating memories that last a lifetime and you’ll have Wham’s Last Christmas song playing in your head.
For those new to diving or looking to enhance their skills, Koh Tao is home to numerous reputable diving schools that offer courses for all levels. Many of these schools also offer special Christmas packages, combining the thrill of diving with the festive spirit.
