The Anthong Marine park is not worth basing a dive holiday on....and just not worth the trip. If it was closer to Tao, it still wouldn't be dived much.
Sail rock is mid-way between Tao and Phangan.... more commonly dived from Phangan because there isn't many other dive choices from there.
Tao has the other two pinnacles....and a dozen other good sites. Pick the right dive op and you can dive empty sites around Tao.
Travelling between the islands? what makes more sense .... a single return ferry trip from Tao to visit Phangan for the FMP.... or a daily return trip from Phangan to visit the dive sites around Tao?
From Tao, you can morning dive 2 sites...and still be back on the island for lunch, shopping or whatever. Or, you can stay in bed until lunchtime...and still enjoy 2 dives before dinner. Or...if you are keen enough, you can organise a morning and afternoon trip from Tao...getting 4 dives a day (plus night dive if you want).
From Phangan....well, you just better enjoy spending all your day on a dive boat....
Really mate..... I have no vested interest in getting people to use Tao as their dive base...and I don't want to cut your business.... but spreading the illusion that Phangan offers more convenient and flexible diving than Tao is a dis-service to the honest question asked by the OP.
