Download Dive Information packages FUN DIVE TRIPS WITH CORAL GRAND DIVERS Two daily dive trips, one night dive every second day. Morning dive trip departs 06:30am (Two Dives) Afternoon dive trip departs 12:30pm (Two Dives) Night Dive trip departs 18:30pm (One Dive) Cost per trip (2 dives) = Baht 2,000 Cost of Night Dive (1 dive) = Baht 1,500 All diving trips are inclusive of diving equipment rental, tea, coffee, water, and fresh fruits during the dive trips. If you are using your own and complete diving equipment, all trip rates are less 10%. For dive trips and dive courses, the maximum number of divers/students per PADI Divemaster/Instructor is SIX. We run 2-dive trips daily with the first trip departing at 06:30am and our second trip departs 12:30pm. Our morning dive trips are the deep sites; namely Chumphon Pinnacles, South West Pinnacles and once or twice per week, Sail Rock. The maximum depths for these morning dives are approximately 27-metres and there is an abundance of hard & soft corals and shoals of fish by the hundreds. There is also quite some large marine life to be witnessed on the morning dives such as the occasional Whale Sharks, large Jenkins's Rays and currently we are seeing 6 – 8 Grey Reef Sharks on every dive we do at Chumphon Pinnacle. There are approximately 25-dive sites in and around Koh Tao which are accessible to all diver certification levels with the exception being Chumphon Pinnacles. Certified divers must hold the minimum qualification of Adventure Deep Diver as the site does not begin until a depth of 15-metres. The Adventure Deep Dive can be done with one of our professional PADI Instructors who will certify you as a deep diver after completing the dive. The cost of Adventure dives is Baht 1,800 if you are not already holding an advanced certification. The afternoon dive trips tend to be closer to the main Island and the maximum depths are normally around 18-metres but again there is still plenty of marine life to be witnessed and again, whale sharks are regularly seen, particularly Black Tips and more recently Leopard Sharks around the West side of Koh Tao Island.
