Eco Koh Tao started as an initiative to bring about a greater awareness regarding the environmental impacts of the diving industry as a whole, with the hope of initiating changes for its ongoing preservation and sustainable management.

Our primary aim is to learn about & understand the problems facing Koh Tao's marine resources and endeavour to provide adequate solutions. first we needed to inform and educate the divers of Koh Tao.

Established in June 2007 Eco Koh Tao is the first organisation to focus solely on specialty courses devoted to a greater understanding of the marine ecosystems & the surrounding environment.

We thought this project required a dedicated team of environmentally minded divers with the experience, know how & passion to really make it work.

Drawing on our enormous pool of knowledge our courses and volunteer programs are supported by worldwide diving giant PADI, Project Aware, as well as Reef Check, a California based organisation supporting a global coral reef monitoring program.
