Koh Tao is placed in Gulf of Thailand. Far away from Koh Phangan around 1 hour with the ferry. It is a beautiful island with nice beaches, nice restaurants on the beach, tasty food...
You can do many things there (hiking, rock climbing) but the main reason to visit this island is scuba diving and snorkeling. There are plenty of agencies to provide it.
To learn scuba diving you need 4 or 5 days (at least they told to me like that) and the cost is around 9500 Thai baht (around 306 US dollars and around 235 euros during that time) with accommodation and breakfast included.
I didn't try scuba diving, but I did snorkeling.
The price is 850 Thai baht (around 27 dollars and around 210 euros), but if you check on many places you can find it for 600 bath, same as me :-). They pick you up between 8 and 9 in the morning from your hotel and drive you back around 5 pm. I had snorkel in 6 different places. I would like to mention Shark bay where, if you have lucky, you can see real big sharks (don't be worry, those sharks are not dangerous for humans). Some of the bays have colorful corals, colorful fishes, turtles...
In my snorkeling tour I had amazing Nang Yuan island (Koh Nang Yuan) and we stay 1 hour and 30 minutes there. This island is in top 10 in the world for scuba diving and snorkeling and have incredible view point as you can see on the next picture.
If you like scuba diving and snorkeling you must visit Koh Tao. If you don't likes it, but you are already on this island, you must do it :-).
