About this site

Aow Leuk Bay is a small bay on the southeastern coast of Koh Tao, an island off Surat Thani province in the Gulf of Thailand. It sits among the cluster of bays on that side of the island, reached by boat from the main piers around Mae Haad. The site has a sandy bottom and good visibility, with a maximum depth of around 15 metres, making it a beginner dive. Parrotfish are a regular sight here, and divers have also reported angelfish, butterflyfish, snapper, grouper, pufferfish, barracuda, sea turtles, and stingrays.
