About this dive site

This dive site, known as Buoyancy World, is located off the west coast of Koh Nang Yuan island near Twins pinnacle. It’s an artificial dive site created by a dedicated community project on Koh Tao. The initiative involved local residents, government officials, and businesses working together to establish this unique underwater environment. The primary goal was to reduce pressure on the natural coral reefs by providing a designated area for scuba diving practice and skill development. This island-wide project offers an engaging experience for divers of varying levels. It provides an alternative to exploring delicate coral ecosystems while fostering responsible diving habits.
