The diving line uses the shops' own published prices from our Koh Tao price index (36 of 153 prices read directly from an operator's website and linked there). Everything below is the collected rate data behind the other lines — 25 of 25 rows carry a source link. Where a tier has too few rates of its own, the figure is a percentile of all rates collected for the destination, which is stated on the line.

The cheapest week is rarely the one people remember. What changes a trip is how many divers are on the boat, whether the guide knows the site, and whether the shop cancels when conditions are bad. Those are what the Koh Tao ranking scores, and price is only one of its six criteria.
