They are shallow, calm, and full of marine life.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sites like Sail Rock, one of Thailand&#8217;s top dive spots, require a bit more comfort underwater. We recommend at least a refresher dive before heading to sites like these if you have been out of the water for a long time.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our instructors at La Bombona Diving will always recommend the right dive plan for your current skill level.

Most agencies offer digital cards you can store on your phone.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you arrive in Koh Tao without your card, let us know.
