Image: Koh Tao diving never fails to turn up new surprises - this time a fan-bellied filefish

Like working anywhere, elements of the Koh Tao diving industry become routine.

But it does not take much to remind us what a fantastic job we have! All you have to do is take a look around - small tropical island, beaches and palm trees, cold beers! Even better is the amazingly international mix of people that we get to work with, and teach diving to.

But the main reason most of us got into scuba diving was a desire to explore further. As PADI dive instructors, we visit the same Koh Tao diving sites on a regular basis, but there's always something new and incredible, ready to surprise. Here's how my morning went: 

Deep down at deep 26m, west of the main pinnacle of South-West, a small cluster of rocks in the sand.

Swimming closer something hiding away in amongst the soft corals, a Fan-Bellied Filefish.

If you love taking and collecting images, Digital Underwater Photography will definitely open up your dive experiences and deliver a new diving challenge. Here at Simple Life no matter what level of diver you are, you’ll be in good hands.
