Black Tip Dive Resort and Watersport Center

Black Tip Dive Resort and Watersport Center Review

This resort is located on Tanote Bay, on Koh Tao's eastern shore. Although the sand here is coarse, the bay is great for snorkeling, full of colorful coral, large fish, and even small black-tip reef sharks that cruise the northern side of the bay around sunset. It's a great place to do your scuba certification. Rooms are set in a nicely landscaped garden on the hill above the bay, and are a stylish blend of natural wood and painted, curvaceous concrete walls. A pickup-truck taxi makes the run to Mae Haad five times daily, and a taxi-boat for trips around the island is available from the Mt. Reef Resort at the south end of the bay. Room discounts are available if you sign up for a dive course.
