Lighthouse Bay is a beginner-friendly Koh Tao site with shallow coral, a gentle slope, and enough depth variation for easy multi-level dives.
About Lighthouse Bay
Lighthouse Bay is a sheltered Koh Tao bay dive with a shallow coral garden, a gentle reef slope, and an outer edge that gives beginners and snorkelers plenty to look at. The site is a good fit for relaxed exploration and underwater photography when the island's northeast side is calm. It feels laid back rather than busy, with the kind of easy terrain that rewards slow, close viewing.
