Welcome to Black Tip Diving & Water Sports. We are a PADI Gold Palm IDC resort located in Koh Tao, Thailand. We have two convenient locations on the island in Mae Haad and Aow Tanote. Our main dive shop and resort are located in quiet and relaxed Aow Tanote on the east side of the island. In Tanote Bay, renowned for its snorkeling, you’ll be able to spot some of our usual residents: turtles, parrot fish, Blue Spotted Stingrays, Jenkins Whip Rays, butterfly fish, scorpion fish, file fish and of course the Black Tip Reef Sharks, for which our resort is named.

Away from the crowds, with a relaxed, unspoiled beach, it is renowned by snorkellers and divers for its abundance of marine life and clear visibility. Many species of fish, coral, sponges, anemones, snails, sting rays, reef sharks, sea snakes and turtles, incl. the endangered Hawks Bill turtle, inhabit this beautiful little bay.

We have several types of bungalows available and all rooms come with hot water, western toilet and 24 hour electricity.

An economy room comes with double bed, shared bathroom (shared only between 2 rooms) and garden view. The economy is ideal for families/groups as the 2 rooms are joined in the middle by the shared bathroom. The price is per room. There is a maximum of 2 persons per room.

Black Tip Dive Resort & Water Sport Center offers:

 PADI courses :  are built like a ladder: first you learn the basics in the Open Water course, and then you gain more knowledge about other types of diving equipment and techniques on the Advanced course. Next a Rescue Diver learns about preparing form avoiding and dealing with emergencies. A Dive master is the first level of the professional diver ratings when you can start to work and make money from diving. You must complete each course in order to progress to the next level.

  Fun dives  : For certified fun divers there are several options to choose from. Throughout the week we dive at a variety of the 30+ dive sites surrounding Koh Tao. In the mornings we do 2 dives from the boat. Surface intervals are also on the boat. And while you are waiting you can be seated upstairs on the sun deck (where half the deck is covered) or be seated inside on the lower deck.
