Featuring classic tropical beaches, stunning rock formations and vivid turquoise waters teeming with colorful marine life. It is paradise perfected. Koh Phi Phi offers great diving opportunities. It is a good base to explore the best diving sites of the Andaman Sea. Moreover, diving is quite cheap and it is a good place to take diving lessons and fun diving. Koh Phi Phi is possible to dive all year round. However, the best diving time is from February to May when the visibility is very good. That you will see various of marine life.

Dive sites around
Koh Phi Koh Phi Phi Phi Koh Phi Phi offers a range of dive sites to suit all level of divers. Offering gently sloping reefs, deep walls of coral, ship wreaks and a cool artificial reef. The dive sites are a 20-40-minutes boat ride of the main island Phi Phi Don. This proximity allows us to run two tank dive trips both in the morning and the afternoon to the Phi Phi Dive Sites.

PALONG
The shark point 60% chance of seeing black tip reef sharks Palong bay is situated a few kilometers north of it more famous cousin Maya Bay. Although this one is locally famous for offering two great Phi Phi Dive Sites. Head north and after 10 minutes you are rewarded by a shoal of black tip reef sharks. The sharks range from full sized adults (approximately 1.5meters in length) down to the juveniles at 40-50 centimetres. Further on from the sharks there are beautiful small valleys of soft coral dropping down to the sandy bottom. Head south and you will be rewarded with a long pristine wall of coral, turtles can be found here but the big thing is the wall of critters. Look out for frog fish, sea horses, shrimp and pipe fish. Seldom dived due to the popularity of the Malong dive site.
VIKING CAVE Naturel hard coral reef + School of fish + artificial reef
MALONG
The turtle point 80% chance of seeing turtle We all love turtles and Malong happens to be their home. We are able to meet these gentle sea creatures on about 90% of our dives here. Malong is also great for small critters such as tiger tail seahorses, swim throughs at the end and lots of different types of shrimp. This is the high season favorite of all the Phi Phi Dive Sites
BIDA NOK
Wall full hard corals + schools of fish Koh Bida Nok is probably one of my favorite dives sites in the area and is the most likely dive site you will do when scuba diving the Phi Phi Islands (weather permitting). A dive site that is accessible to all diving levels and provides great entertainment for all divers. The underwater topography is diverse from sandy bottoms, slopping reefs, a great wall, small caves and large crevices and a great selection of both hard and soft corals. The fish life is abundant with big schools of snappers, travellies, tuna and is littered with many different anemone fish, surgeon fish, Butterfly fish. The rare Ghost Pipefish can be often found here lurking in and around the large coral bommies. Koh Bida Nok contains possibly one of the best selections of fish life in the area. The marine life is also some of the best in the region with Black Tip reef sharks common, Leopard sharks regularly lying in the sandy bottoms and Whale Shark can regularly cruise by in the months of May through to August. Turtles are common place as are cuttlefish and Octopus. Sea snakes can often be found as can moray eels including the stunning Zebra Moray. Seahorses and colorful nudibranchs are not out of place either. Koh Bida Nok is also one of the best snorkeling sites in the region. It provides a great opportunity for snorkelers to get up close and personal with the black tip reef sharks and a wide selection of reef fish.
BIDA NAI
Wall full hard corals + schools of fish Koh Bida Nai is the sister island to Koh Bida Nok. A part of the Phi Phi National Park. Although it does not have the same diversity as Koh Bida Nok it is still a very nice dive site. The northern wall contains some stunning corals and it is the feature of the dive site. A beautiful swim through on the south eastern side provides divers with a picturesque view of some large schools of snappers that line either side. Black tip reef sharks and turtles are common place here as to are big schools of travellies and tuna. Whale Sharks often cruise past at the right time of year so keep your eyes peeled. Ribbon eels, Ornate Ghost Pipefish have made regular appearances here so keep a good look out in the broken coral in the sandy areas. Recently the Leopard Sharks have been commonly sited and their gentle nature and diver friendly persona have been providing scuba divers with fantastic dives which can be treasured for a life time. It is one of the best scuba diving sites in the area to see the Hawks-bill turtle as well.

LOH SAMAH
Underwater canyon + Walls of coloful soft corals Loh Samah stands out by being in an excellent place and offering consistently good diving conditions for all levels of divers, both during the day and at night. The dive site is easily found and Koh Lanta day trip and liveaboard boats can moor up in calm waters either for just the dive or all night. Depths go as far down as 25 meters, but there is rarely the need to do so on this colorful dive site with lots of healthy marine life. As already mentioned, Loh Samah Bay can be dived at night, not because of its position to favor boat moorings, but mainly due to the water conditions and marine life on show.
PILEH WALL
Walls of colorful soft corals + school of fish This is a popular destination for both divers and snorkelers alike, because of the clear shallow waters and the Blacktip Reef Sharks that cruise around here. Most boats do this site as the 2nd dive of the day as the sun is on the other side of the island in the early morning.
KLEDKAEO WRECK
The awesome wreck [46 meters long] The Kled Gaeow functioned as an auxiliary vessel, a transport support and stores ship, designation AKS 861. Decommissioned in 2014, the ship was purposely sunk via controlled explosions to create a new dive site on 19 March 2014. The 47-meter-long wreck sits almost upright (20 degree list) facing north to south (bow-stern), 1 km to the east of Piley Bay.
VIKING CAVE
Naturel hard coral reef + School of fish + artificial reef Viking Cave has a striking bay and a beautiful cave above the water, but the real deal is underwater a few hundred meters to the north of the Viking Cave. A few years ago, the Phuket Marine Conservation department put down a beautiful artificial reef to re-establish marine life after the tsunami. It is now the home of long finned Batfish, Lion Fish and Leopard Sharks. In the shallow water of the bay often baby Blacktip Reefsharks can be seen.
