Ao Chaweng is on the north-eastern side of Ko Samui near Ao Chaweng Beach. This beach is dotted with dive shops, bars, guesthouses and restaurants. It is one of the most popular and crowded beaches around the island. It also offers the best shore diving with some beautiful marine and coral life at a nearby reef at only a five minute swim outwards. Snorkellers can just grab their mask and fins and take a look as well since the reef has an average depth of only five meters.

Chaweng Beach can have surprisingly interesting creatures to discover. Plenty of smaller and bigger (Jenkin's Whip Rays) creatures that I don't see at the more popular boat destination dive sites can be found here. Visibility is not always the best but nonetheless a very interesting dive site.
