Conservation Diving on Koh Phi Phi
Our ethos focuses on Ocean Conservation therefore we are happy to offer unique Conservation Diving programs, only at Blue View Divers.









“No one is without power as everybody has the capacity to do something. In fact, even if you never have the chance to see or touch the ocean, the ocean touches you with every breath you take. Every drop of water you drink and every bite you consume.”

Coral Propagation
Blue View Divers is a proud Ocean Quest Global Conservation Diving Centre. Above all, our mission is to educate and involve local community and divers , specifically highlighting the importance of coral reefs in coastal ecosystems.


Ocean Quest Propagation Trainers
Our Coral Propagation Trainers are passionate about preserving our oceans in addition to teaching and guiding divers. Subsequently they volunteer their time helping regenerate and replant broken corals in our Marine Park. Of course, volunteering at Maya Bay’s coral nurseries has been the inspiration for us to build our own nursery. The Maya Bay Project is the largest Coral Rehabilitation Program in the world therefore we are lucky to be part of!


Conservation Diving: We want to give back
Above all, we love the ocean. For this reason we are able to give back by training divers and snorkelers in Coral Propagation. In the same way we have always encouraged marine conservation in our dive and snorkel programs. For this purpose, we have built a nursery at Nui Bay in addition to the Cabana Beach community coral garden.

There are group package discounts and family packages available.
We are actively involved in Trash Hero Koh Phi Phi therefore our interns can get involved in beach cleaning events and learn how to organise and arrange themselves. We want to get you off to a good start in scientific diving and recommend doing this as part of your Divemaster Course.
