Shark Island |
Shark island is one of our favorite Koh Tao sites because of the huge diversity of marine life, granite pinnacles and swim throughs. There is a resident turtle who on occassion passes by and also the titan trigger fish are good to keep an eye out for. This site is sometimes exposed to stronger currents so be sure to listen to a full briefing. Groupers and barracudas can often be seen here
and you may be lucky enough to spot a leopard shark. This site is excellent for drift and multi-level specialty dives.
