10 Best Places to Go Scuba Diving in 2025

"As a cheap place to learn to scuba dive, Ko Tao has a plethora of dive shops for beginners and experts alike; I found it to be one of the most affordable learning hubs in Thailand. Open Water certification costs around $350 USD, single-tank dives are less than $50 USD, and full-day trips run about $75 USD, so it's a great option if you're starting out." - Matthew Kepnes
