 The best time to dive is during the cool season from around October/November to April. The west and of the island, between Koh Chang and Koh Kood, is an excellent spot to dive. Snorkeling on other small islands off Koh Kood like Koh Kham, Koh Rayang, Koh Wai and Koh Laoya are also worth checking out.
One of the most famous and reliable diving operators in Koh Kood includes BB Divers, which provides free transfer to and from the island's resorts as well as instructions in major languages.

 Scuba Diving in Koh Kood
|
Koh Kood (also known as Ko Kut) has only recently been discovered for its exciting aquatic life. Our local dive sites are therefore pristine and not overcrowded by large diving operations. Scuba diving opens our eyes to a whole new world of adventure and possibilities – a magical realm of colour, beauty and endless fun! There is nothing quite like the sensation of breathing underwater and floating weightless amongst the colourful fish and the amazing marine life of the Gulf of Thailand. This will be an experience you will never forget!
Koh Kood offers for diving some interesting dive-sites, fine corall reefes and mysterious underwater rocks. During a high season visibility under water the best, varying then in the opposite side during a season of monsoons. Dive tours offered local shops mention sites near Koh Chang, Koh Rung and Koh Wai. |
