About Ao Tum

Ao Tum is a large dive site featuring a beautiful coral garden interspersed with large underwater boulders. The diversity of hard corals is impressive, and the fish life is abundant thanks to Koh Kood's remote location and low diver traffic. Multiple dives can be done here without repeating the same ground.
