Koh Phi Phi Islands
Actually two Islands - Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Leh - these two awesome sisters languish in the ocean like a pair of emerald jewels studding the emerald waters of Phang Nga Bay.
Phi Phi is one of the most picturesque islands in the world. You'll marvel at the stunning movie-set desert-island scenery both above and below the waterline.
Phi Phi scuba diving offers more than 15 different sites with many walls, caves and caverns.
Koh Phi Phi lies in Krabi Province, so the sea life is substantially different from our other Thailand diving sites. Both hard and soft corals prosper harmoniously amongst the myriads of marine life. Here's your best opportunity to happen across green turtles, black and white banded sea snakes, angelfish, crocodile long-toms and sharks.
Diving Season
You can dive here all year round, but the best Phi Phi scuba diving conditions exist from November to April.
Late May to October brings monsoon winds and surface swells to Phi Phi, lowering visibility by about 25%, but it's pretty rare that diving trips are cancelled due to bad weather. October also brings with it heavy rains to the Andaman Sea.
Thailand Liveaboards diving season to Koh Phi Phi runs all year round too.
