Laem Thian dive site is located on the East side of Koh Tao Island. It is an easy and relaxing diving spot suitable for all level of divers. The topography is interesting with small caves and swim-throughs worth exploring. The Marine life is great with good chances to spot a Green Turtle, a blue Spotted Stingray, a Grouper or a school of Jacks. Be careful of the large Titan Triggerfish as they can be aggressive! It is also an interesting spot for macro lovers with a good density of nudibranchs and Sea Slugs. The maximum depth is 17 meters deep. The visibility is generally good on the Laem Thian dive site.

This is a Cave diving spot, make sure you have all required certifications. Location based around one or many Rocks.
