Koh Samui is one of Thailand’s largest islands and which boasts of beautiful beaches, dense forestation and a thriving tourism industry. Until the last century the island was largely a self sufficient one, functioning independently and it was only of late that development activities and modern infrastructure have been added to the island landscape.

The underwater world that awaits discovery off the beaches of Koh Samui is fascinating as well as awe inspiring.

Calypso Diving is a PADI certified diving establishment that has earned a sound reputation with regard to the services it offers and the equipment they use. Established in Koh Samui since 1988, Calypso Diving takes scuba diving groups on day trips as well as overnight trips and are well able to do so given the excellent live aboard boats owned by them.

Popular dive sites include the South West Pinnacle, Sail Rock, Koh Tao and Chumporn amongst others. As the water temperature is anything between 27 and 30 degrees it is the perfect comfort level in which to truly enjoy a dive. The underwater scenes afforded at off-dive sites in Koh Samui not only offer divers a view of the stunning sea bed, corals and marine life, but also of shipwrecks.

According to your vacation itinerary and time allowance, visitors can opt for various Calypso Diving packages. The overnight package can get you up to seven dives in different locations. Dives are also made in the night which is a completely different experience even if diving at the same spot as during the day.

This centre not only offers diving packages but also various diving instruction courses. So even if you are quite new to the concept, the people at this centre are well able to help you. Snorkelling is also an option available here.

If you are visiting the island and are looking for a Samui hotel from which to base yourself opt for a beautiful Samui resort that offers the very best in luxury and comfort such as Anantara Bophut Koh Samui. In this way you can make the very best of your Samui experience and enjoy a truly unforgettable island adventure amidst the sun, sand and surf.
