I believe this list, (which was split from the island article) violates Wikipedia's policy of not being a directory, guidebook or an indiscriminate collection of information, and should be deleted. Paul_012 ^(talk) 11:44, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Lonely Planet's Diving in Thailand book devotes ten pages to dive sites around Ko Tao and states that 3% of the world's divers are certified here. This is one of the world's most popular dive sites, so the article could be expanded easily. A split allows the Ko Tao island article not to be swamped with tourist-related content.

Keep. Looks about as notable as anything else in Category:Underwater diving sites. It also looks more interesting than Square Lake. --Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 17:38, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Not sure about the merits of this list, but if it is kept something ought to be done about the inappropriate external links in the article. Them From Space 21:13, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
