#1A dive school with rooms attached, on Koh Tao's quieter southern bay, built for people who came to get certified.
Diving runs through this whole list, with four of the ten doubling as dive schools and nearly all the rest sitting on or steps from a beach. Assava takes the top spot on both counts, pulling more reviews than any other place here while training divers on site. The rest spread out across Sairee, Sai Daeng and Tanote, and there's one hostel in the mix if you'd rather keep costs down. Ranked by Google rating, with review volume breaking ties.
