The best places on the Andaman Coast
Phi Phi offers an impressive variety of sites:
- Bida Nok — large pelagics (leopard sharks, turtles, rays), 12-30 m.
- Bida Nai — drop-offs, rifle benches, 18-35 m.
- Hin Muang / Hin Daeng — for Advanced, whale sharks in season (March-April).
- King Cruiser Wreck — ferry wreck, 18-30 m, for wreck lovers.
5-star PADI / SSI school
Our partner is a 5 star certified school, the highest level. Multilingual instructors (English, French on request), equipment renewed each season, ratio of 4 divers per divemaster max.
Our advice
If you are Open Water without Advanced, get your Advanced in 2 days (10,400 THB SSI) on site. It unlocks the best sites and costs less than in Europe.
Tip: book the dive on D+1 of your arrival to respect the 24 hours without alcohol before diving and avoid fatigue seasickness.

Before you go
Good to know
Beat the crowds
Iconic spots like Maya Bay are far calmer early in the day. Our morning departures get you there before the midday ferry rush.
National park fees
Some sites sit inside a national park, so an entrance fee may apply. Check the “Not included” list above so there are no surprises.
Sun & reef care
The tropical sun is strong — bring a hat, sunglasses and plenty of water. Reef-safe sunscreen is required in Thai marine parks.
What to pack
Comfortable shoes, light breathable clothing, water and a small backpack for the day.
