centre, but in the meantime reception can arrange contact with a
number of local and reputable operators, who will pick you up and
drop you back to the resort after your trips. All manner of dives
can be carried out in Koh Tao, from beginners taking there PADI
Open Water Courses, to Dive Master Courses, night diving, Nitrox,
and wreck diving.
