# Mango Bay, Koh Tao

Mango Bay is a scenic diving destination located on Koh Tao in Surat Thani Province, Thailand, situated in the Gulf of Thailand. This popular site features a sandy bottom with scattered granite boulders and coral formations, making it ideal for divers of all skill levels.

The bay offers depths ranging from 5 to 18 meters, with excellent visibility during calm conditions. Divers encounter vibrant coral gardens and diverse marine life including reef fish, fusiliers, snappers, and occasionally larger pelagic species. Macro enthusiasts will appreciate nudibranchs, crustaceans, and smaller reef inhabitants.

Mango Bay is known for its relaxed atmosphere and accessible entry from the beach, making it particularly suitable for beginners and certification courses.
