A typical Mae Haad sunset.  Mae Haad is Koh Tao's main village where Master Divers is situated, and this is part of the scene from our sunset view bar.
Sairee beach, about ten minutes walk from Mae Haad, is the largest beach on Koh Tao.  Despite the tranquility of this beach during the day, at night it becomes Koh Tao's party capital.  The beach is lined with bars and clubs which keep bumping till the early hours.
Accommodation options on Koh Tao vary from basic but clean rooms through to luxury suites.  Most common is the beach bungalow: usually equipped only with a fan and a cold shower (but sometimes television, DVD player, fridge, hotshower and air conditioning), they are set right on the beach or in beautiful gardens with a balcony to chill out and soak up the vibe.
Nudibranch means 'external lung'.  These critters are found in various shapes, sizes and disguises all around Koh Tao, but without the benefit of your Divemaster's local knowledge, you'll probably never find one.
Whale Sharks are what we're famous for.  Koh Tao is a normal stopping off point for Whale Sharks on their annual trips around the world so they're relatively common here.  They're completely harmless plankton feeders and the ones we see here range in size from 2.5 metres to 7 metres long.
Scorpion fish are very difficult to spot - their excellent camouflage helps them blend almost perfectly with the reef on which they resolutely sit.
