Aow Mao Bay (Koh Tao)

This uninhabited bay at the South-East of Koh Tao is separated from the neighbouring Laem Tien Bay by a narrow, rocky strip of land to the South.

Being uninhabited and rarely visited by the local dive operators, Aow Mao has a habit of throwing up a few surprises such as the Jenkin's Whiptail Ray, Pipefish, Seahorses and on one occasion, a Humphead Parrotfish, which is virtually unknown in the area, was seen here.

Aow Mao is suitable for divers of all experience levels and is also a good area for snorkellers and swimmers.
