<h1>Koh Tao Accommodation & Diving - About Us</h1>
<p>Island Style Diving is run by Sarah and Paul, diving instructors at Coral Grand
Divers.</p>
<p>We have developed this website so you can book your trip with the people you’ll
spend time with on holiday, rather than a faceless hotel chain or travel agency.
We want to help you with your travel plans, share our insider knowledge of the
best places to go on the island and simply make your holiday one to remember
- for all the right reasons.</p>
<p>We pride ourselves on offering you personal and professional customer service
with Western speed so you have more time to relax in true Thai style!</p>
<p>Diving or not, we will act as your main contact point, so that you can experience
all the best of Thai culture whilst bypassing the more “challenging”
aspects!</p>
<p>Remember we can provide you with a tailor-made package. So if you like what
you see here but want something a little different, please email us. We’ll
do our research here on the island and then send you a proposed itinerary with
prices.<br />
