About Pottery
Pottery is a shallow Koh Tao boat dive near Mae Haad with rocky pinnacles, hard coral, sponge growth, and a strong macro-and-night-dive identity. It suits beginner divers and small groups because the site is easy to reach and stays shallow, but the small swim-throughs and close boat traffic mean route awareness matters.
