Planning a trip

4–7 days

worth going for

Flight, then a boat or domestic hop.

1,171km from Singapore — about 9h 27m each way. 14 dive sites within 25km, enough for several days of diving.

When people dive it

Busiest Aug, Dec · almost nobody dives it May, Jun, Jul, Sep, Oct.

From 704 logged sightings — when divers are in the water, which is not quite the same as when visibility is best.

Monsoon

October is the worst of the season here.

Koh Tao and its neighbours run on the opposite calendar to Phuket — the gulf is at its best while the Andaman side is shut.

Northeast monsoon

The gulf's wet season. Heavy rain, wind onto the east-facing sites, and visibility that drops to a few metres after a storm. Diving continues; it just stops being worth the flight.

The year here

JFMAMJJASOND

Best here: March, April, May, June, July, August.

Gulf of Thailand. Written by hand from how the season actually runs, calibrated against what the boats do, since a season that disagrees with the operators is wrong however good the meteorology behind it. It describes most years, not this one: the forecast above is what knows about next week.

Moon and tides

Waning gibbous

58% lit · day 21 of the lunar month

Neap tides

Neap tides — the smallest range of the month, so the weakest currents. Easy conditions and usually the clearest water, though a drift site may barely drift.

New 10 Oct Full 26 Oct

Phase computed here, not fetched. This is the spring/neap cycle, which sets how hard the water moves — not a tide table: no free source publishes high and low water for Southeast Asian reefs, and the range peaks a day or two after the moon does, by an amount that varies with the coast. For times on the day, ask the operator.

Getting there

~9h 27m

door to water, each way · 4 legs

FlightPhu Quoc (PQC)~3h 48mFlight time plus the airports at both ends. A connection adds to it.Find flights →
Transferthe jetty~3h 9mRoad transfer to the coast, usually arranged by the resort or liveaboard.Directions →
Ferrythe crossing~2hAt this distance the last stretch is a scheduled crossing rather than a dive boat, so book it before the flight — a missed sailing usually costs a day. Which crossing it is has been worked out from the distance and not from a timetable; ask the operator.

📍 Koh Laun - Scuba Diving on Google Maps 🧭 Route from Phu Quoc

Times marked ~ are estimated from straight-line distance and will be roughly right at best. The road legs are the ones Google Maps answers properly; it will not plan the ferry or the dive boat at all. A dive site's coordinates put a pin in open water, so the map link drops you on the site, not on a jetty.
