At the beginning of 2018, there was organized a new association «Koh Tao Dive Club». This association includes all Dive operators like Diving centers, Dive resorts, Diving boats, etc. and it’s action was approved by the Government of Suratthani Province and Koh Tao municipality.
The goal of this association is to create new rules for the regulation of the diving activity of Diving Centers and Dive Resorts because of dive business grow so fast for last years.
Association agreement requires all dive center and resorts on Koh Tao Island to offer the same minimal price for diving courses and programs and also, the minimum selling price for accommodation during the course starting from 1st December 2018. Minimal price is mandatory for all dive centers on the island, violation of this leads to a penalty from 50,000 to 150,000 THB (approx. 1,500 — 4,600 USD) for each event of violation for the Dive Center.
We were forced to increase prices because of majority of «Koh Tao Dive Club» members supported this decision.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by increasing our prices, we are doing our best to prepare attractive packages for you included diving and accommodation in different hotels (from standard to deluxe, with special family offers).
