It is that time of year when all divers on Koh Tao start to get really excited about the return of the sharks! Every year around mid january, we expect a variety of shark species to return to some of our deeper dive sites. The most common of these is the bull shark which although has been known to be aggressive, has never attacked anyone on Koh Tao. In fact there has never been a single shark attack on or around the island. The bull sharks are the favourite among divers as they are probably the biggest of they species we get (apart from the Whaleshark) and are awesome looking sharks. They get to around 3 meters long and are a muscular, meaty looking shark. We also get some of the reef sharks, black tip, white tip and oceanic species. One of the best places to see them is Chumphon Pinnacle which is a 40 minutes away and is just an awesome dive site anyway but when the sharks are around it is truly magical. The best times to see them are early morning and late evening so we often plan special trips at these times for the best chance of seeing them so look out for these trips when you get here!
