There are no really worthwhile dive spots at Koh Phangan itself, but a few very attractive dive sites nearby. The best dive spot in the Bay of Thailand, Sail Rock, is just one hour away by speedboat. Another highlight are the northern islands of Angthong Marine National Park. Both these dive destinations are best reached from the north of Koh Phangan, so most dive operators are located in the north of the island.
