<\/p>\n

Aow Leuk<\/strong> dive site, Koh Tao, is a naturally sheltered bay on the south-east coast of Thailand’s diving island, protected from strong winds and open-sea swell. Moreover, this shallow site \u2014 averaging just 6 metres with a maximum of 12 metres \u2014 offers extraordinary underwater scenery and an abundance of young marine life. Garden eels swaying from the sandy floor, perfectly camouflaged scorpionfish, coral patches alive with butterflyfish and yellowtail barracuda schools: Aow Leuk<\/strong> is a site for all levels that consistently rewards the patient observer. Indeed, it is one of the most accessible dive sites in Koh Tao and a firm favourite with our team at The Divers Boat.<\/p>\n
