Diving in the Western Gulf of Thailand near Ko Samui, Ko Pha-Ngan and Ko Tao

The Gulf of Thailand is not the best place in Thailand to go diving, but it still has some very nice dive sites. It also has a completely different diving season compared with its western neighbor the Andaman Sea. So when diving conditions are great in the Andaman Sea, diving sucks in the Gulf and other way around. The Gulf is targeted by the monsoon between November and April and many dive sites can be inaccessible then. Outside this season diving is great with September probably being the best month to dive.

Water temperature will exceed 28 degrees most of the time. The best diving in the gulf is around Koh Tao. Ko Samui and Ko Pha Ngang offer diving as well, but they seem to become more touristy areas in stead of world class diving locations. However this is also a good and cheap place to start a dive course or take a refreshment course.
