The boat slips away from Ko Kut's pier and the sea takes the lead: ripples turn to a steady swell, then the reef appears like a folded roofline beneath glass-blue water. You step into a world where light filters through columns of water and small fish dart like punctuation marks. The Discover Scuba Diving program on Ko Kut is an introductory surface-to-reef experience: a short classroom and shallow-water skills session, followed by two guided reef dives where coral bommies and reef fish do the navigating.
