Ko Samui District

Ko Samui District sits in the Gulf of Thailand, offering access to a range of tropical coral reefs, shallow seagrass beds, and wreck dives around the island of Ko Samui and nearby islets. The diving area is characterized by warm, clear waters with good visibility most of the year, moderate currents, and a mix of macro life and reef fauna. Divers typically base themselves around the main towns such as Baan Thong Krut and Bo Put, with boat-based trips to the best sites around Koh Samui and along the Surat Thani coast. The region features a straightforward drift and wall dives, with options for beginners through advanced divers across several local centers.
