Dive with Purpose on Phi Phi….
"Everybody has the capacity to do something. Even if you never have the chance to see the ocean, the ocean touches you with every breath you take, every drop of water you drink & every bite you consume."
OUR PHI PHI CONSERVATION STORY
~ Establised on Phi Phi in 2006: Conservation has always been part of what we do ~
Conservation has been part of Blue View Divers since our early years on Phi Phi Island.
Over the years, we have supported local schools, trained Thai divers and organised more than 300 cleanups. We have also worked closely with the local dive community and contributed to the major Maya Bay Coral Project.
Today, we continue this commitment through PADI AWARE Conservation Specialties, citizen science and environmental education. Above all, we aim to inspire responsible diving, helping our guests protect marine life wherever they go.

Citizen Science Dives Phi Phi
~ Turn What You See Into Useful Data ~
Every diver can become a citizen scientist – you don’t need to be a scientist to contribute to ocean research. Simply learn what to look for and how to record it. While diving around Phi Phi, you can monitor shark and ray sightings, coral reef health and ocean debris. Even recording what you don’t see can provide useful information when collected over time.
Amazing Citizen Science platforms such as eOceans allow you to contribute meaninful data from snorkels, beach walks and dives.
Best of all, these are skills you can take home with you. Once you know how to contribute, your future dives anywhere in the world can help build a better picture of what is happening beneath the surface.
Conservation Diving Phi Phi-for Certified Divers
~ Upgrade Fun Dives or Advanced Course to Conservation Dives~
You don’t need to plan a separate conservation trip to dive with purpose. Add conservation to your regular Fun Dives from just 2,600 THB, or incorporate a conservation Adventure Dive into your PADI Advanced Course. You can even upgrade to a full PADI AWARE Specialty, combining your training with citizen science and a second PADI certification.

Conservation Diving Phi Phi: Marine Conservation at Blue View Divers
Blue View Divers has supported marine conservation on Phi Phi Island since 2006. Over the years, we have combined responsible scuba diving with environmental education, community projects and practical conservation work.
Today, our Conservation Diving Phi Phi programs focus on PADI AWARE training, citizen science and reef protection. We also promote marine debris surveys, coral monitoring and shark conservation.
As a PADI 5 Star Eco Centre, we help divers explore the ocean responsibly. Most importantly, we give them practical ways to protect marine life.
PADI AWARE Conservation Diving Courses in Phi Phi
Discover marine conservation through our PADI AWARE Specialty Courses. Choose from Shark & Ray Conservation, Coral Reef Conservation or Dive Against Debris.
Each course combines scuba diving with environmental education. As a result, divers gain new knowledge and practical conservation skills.
You can also add conservation activities to regular fun dives. Alternatively, selected specialties can be combined with PADI Advanced Open Water training.
Citizen Science Diving Phi Phi: Help Protect Marine Life
Citizen science diving in Phi Phi allows recreational divers to contribute useful information while exploring the reefs.
At Blue View Divers, we introduce guests to marine research projects. For example, divers can record shark sightings, monitor coral health and survey marine debris.
These observations help us understand changes in the underwater environment. Furthermore, the information can support wider conservation research.
Explore our Citizen Science Diving Projects to learn how you can contribute.
Shark and Ray Conservation Diving Phi Phi
Sharks and rays play an important role in healthy marine ecosystems. Around Phi Phi, divers regularly encounter species such as blacktip reef sharks.
Our PADI AWARE Shark & Ray Conservation Specialty introduces shark biology, conservation threats and responsible observation techniques.
In addition, divers learn how to record sightings for the PADI AWARE Global Shark & Ray Census. Therefore, even a recreational dive can contribute to marine research.
Coral Reef Conservation and Monitoring in Phi Phi
Phi Phi’s coral reefs provide food and shelter for many marine species. However, pollution, warming seas and human activity can threaten these ecosystems.
Our PADI AWARE Coral Reef Conservation Specialty teaches divers about reef ecology and conservation.
Divers also learn how to reduce their environmental impact. Furthermore, citizen science activities can help monitor changes in coral reef health.
Through responsible diving and reef monitoring, we can all contribute to healthier marine ecosystems.
PADI Dive Against Debris: Conservation Diving Phi Phi
Marine debris threatens coral reefs, turtles, fish and other marine life. Fortunately, scuba divers can help document and remove underwater waste.
Our PADI Dive Against Debris Specialty teaches safe underwater cleanup techniques. Divers also learn how to survey debris and record their findings.
Afterwards, survey data can contribute to PADI AWARE’s global marine debris database.
Blue View Divers also has a long history of beach and underwater cleanups. Through these activities, we work with the Phi Phi community to reduce marine pollution.
Green Fins: Eco-Friendly Scuba Diving in Phi Phi
Responsible diving is an essential part of marine conservation. Therefore, Blue View Divers follows Green Fins environmental guidelines.
These practices help reduce the impact of scuba diving and snorkelling on coral reefs.
For example, good buoyancy helps prevent accidental coral damage. Similarly, responsible marine-life interactions reduce unnecessary disturbance.
We also encourage waste reduction and environmental education. Above all, we believe every dive should be a responsible dive.
Maya Bay Coral Rehabilitation: Blue View’s Conservation History
Blue View Divers has also contributed to coral rehabilitation projects at Maya Bay.
Following years of intensive tourism, the bay experienced significant environmental pressure. As a result, coral restoration and stronger environmental protection became increasingly important.
Our team joined rehabilitation activities alongside Ocean Quest and local conservation initiatives.
This experience helped shape our conservation work. It also inspired our later coral nursery and propagation projects.
Why Was Maya Bay Closed? Marine Conservation in Phi Phi
Maya Bay became internationally famous after appearing in the film The Beach. However, growing visitor numbers placed increasing pressure on its marine environment.
Boat activity, tourism and other human impacts contributed to environmental damage.
Consequently, authorities closed the bay to support ecosystem recovery. The closure also created opportunities for stronger protection and improved visitor management.
Today, stricter visitor rules help reduce tourism pressure on this famous Phi Phi destination.
Ocean Quest Coral Restoration and Conservation Projects
Blue View Divers previously worked with Ocean Quest Global and founder Anuar Abdullah on coral rehabilitation around Phi Phi.
Our team participated in restoration projects and developed practical coral propagation skills.
Later, we established coral nursery activities and offered Ocean Quest training.
Our coral nursery and Ocean Quest Coral Propagation Courses are currently on hold. Nevertheless, these projects remain an important part of our conservation history.
The experience continues to influence our environmental education and responsible diving practices.
Why Choose Eco-Friendly Conservation Diving in Phi Phi?
Scuba diving offers an incredible opportunity to explore marine ecosystems. However, every diver also has a responsibility to protect them.
Good buoyancy and careful finning help prevent coral damage. Likewise, respectful wildlife interactions reduce stress on marine animals.
Citizen science offers another way to contribute. By recording observations, divers can support conservation research.
Choosing responsible dive centres also makes a difference. In addition, following Green Fins principles and supporting PADI AWARE helps protect our oceans.
Dive With Purpose: Join Conservation Diving Phi Phi
Want to make your next dive more meaningful? There are several ways to get involved.
