We want to offer you the best itinerary options and experience possible!

Koh Tao and Nangyuan Island has by far the best snorkeling & diving spots.

Ang Thong National Marine Park offers a variety of activities with beautiful landscapes and has a a great restaurant.

Koh Phangan is equally interesting with a beautiful coastline often offering the most seclusion and privacy with stunning bays and beaches to explore.

SHARKS

There has NEVER been a recorded shark attack in Thailand waters.
The Tropical waters surrounding Samui are too warm for most sharks. The sharks that scuba divers are most likely to encounter in the open seas off the coast Thailand is the gray reef shark which grow up to 2 meters in length & the whale shark which grows to 12 – 18 meters in length, both of these sharks are harmless to humans. Scuba divers will often see baby sharks on shallow reefs at places like Shark Bay on Koh Tao island but they are also harmless to humans.

JELLYFISH

During the monsoon season there are BOX jellyfish in the Gulf Of Thailand.
It is seldom that we ever hear of anyone in Samui being stung by one.

If you are unlucky to get stung by a BOX jellyfish …. as quick as possible you should apply mono floral honey (100% Pure honey) to the affected area to reduce swelling & neutralize the toxin.

For relief of PAIN from a BOX jellyfish sting … HOT water works well.. (the hotter the better), A HOT shower will instantly take away the pain.

Box Jellyfish stings can be VERY PAINFUL but is seldom fatal to humans.
Box Jellyfish are mostly found in Thailand waters during the months of August & September)

If you find yourself in need of some FAST relief from a jellyfish sting … FORGET Vinegar… HOT water gives instant relief from the pain, Pure Honey neutralizes the toxins of the sting.
