Koh Tao is certainly one of the top world diving destinations. Not really because of the underwater world but because of the high turnover in students. One diving operation became PADI Dive Center Number One world wide by hitting the absolute yearly certification highscore in 2007. So, where is the downside then? Perhaps overcrowded diveboats which have anyway a quite basic technical standard since most of them are inherrited from the collapsing fishing industry. But who cares? Diving is cheap here and supposed to be next to Utilla / Honduras the one of the cheapest places in the world to go scuba diving. Still, some travelers have slightly higher demands which led to the creation of the VIP Sail and Dive program of the Yacht Charter company ISLAND CRUISES on Koh Tao. So if you want more privacy and a dive at one of the almost alone under water marvelous dive spots around Koh Tao combined with romantic sailing on a real ocean going sailing yacht than this package might be the right one for you.
