Film from 2010 widespread bleaching event.

Koh Tao is one of the premier destinations for travellers, gap year & internship students, and many others to learn to dive. Koh Tao certifies the greatest number of people in the whole of South East Asia making.

Koh Tao is a small island, just 21 sq kms. As such it has very clearly defined boundaries providing and ideal case study for numerous research projects.

Many Ph D and masters students have used Koh Tao for a wide range of thesis ranging from the economic benefits of diving tourism to coral spawning and capture to the physical effects of divers on a reef.

If you are interested in studying in this unique environment Eco Koh Tao can support your studies. As one of the largest Reef Check Surveyors on the island we have years of reef health data to call upon. Similarly with constant Marine Conservation  activities you have plenty of opportunites to get out on the reef to observe and analyse.
