Divers and snorkellers can enjoy exquisite coral formations and if they're lucky - spotting sea turtles, tiger sharks and manta rays. Two top locations for diving in Ko Samet are Ko Kut and Ko Thalu; two small islands off the coast. There are numerous diving excursions available and tourists can take a boat tour around the island for diving off the uninhabited western side of the island.
Ao Prao Resort is in a beautiful spot and offers excellent facilities and service. The resort is literally located inside an evergreen forest but it's also just a minute's walk from the beach.
