Boat Departure! 8am/ 1.30pm
Okay so we aim to miss the crowds by getting to the sites when other divers are surfacing. Often get the dive sites to ourselves…..meaning more fish and less divers!
Dive 1 – Our first dive is usually around Bida Islands or Phi Phi Leh dive sites
Lunch – After your first dive, we enjoy lunch in a beautiful beach or bay! Relax and snorkel before we brief your second dive
Dive 2 – Did you see turtles on your first dive? Then we can take you to a good shark spot second and vice versa!
We dive the best sites that we can access each day and additionally like to switch our sites if we arrive to a busy dive area. Furthermore, please note that in low season we do not have full access to the Marine Park.
12.30pm-1.00pm – Morning trips return to the pier in time for the last ferry departures
5.30pm – 6pm – Afternoon trips return to the pier.

Koh Phi Phi or Koh Tao?
Exploring Underwater Thailand: Koh Phi Phi vs. Koh Tao
Koh Phi Phi: A Diver’s Paradise
Experienced divers who are seeking an unparalleled underwater adventure often find themselves drawn to the breathtaking beauty of Koh Phi Phi.

As you explore the vibrant coral reefs you surface to a stunning backdrop of limestone karsts from a diverse underwater world. Furthermore, you will find unique and endangered aquatic marine animals here including huge schools of yellow snappers, graceful sea turtles, black tip sharks and the elusive leopard sharks, ensuring a captivating experience for divers of all levels.
Dive Sites just 20 minutes by boat: Over 15 dive sites to choose form
Distinguished by its dynamic dive sites, Koh Phi Phi offers a comprehensive range of underwater landscapes. From gentle slopes with thriving coral gardens to amazing pinnacles and dramatic walls. Notable sites like the Bida Islands are renowned not only for their vibrant coral formations but also for the frequent sightings of sharks and pelagic schools. Furthermore, the underwater topography includes enchanting swim-throughs and mysterious caverns which add an extra layer of excitement to the more advanced diver experience.
In fact, Koh Phi Phi provides a well-rounded diving experience suitable for both beginners and seasoned divers. The variety of dive sites caters to different preferences and skill levels, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a multifaceted adventure beneath the surface.
Boutique diving experience: Smaller Groups
Firstly, there are around 20 dive centres on Koh Phi Phi which work together on safety and conservation within the marine park. Furthermore, diver supervision is more closely monitored here because the ratios of instructor to diver does not exceed 4:1. Furthermore, beginner programs the ratio is no more than 2:1. In fact, this ensures are more safe and exciting experience as you will see more marine life because your guide has more time to find amazing creatures for you!
Koh Tao: East Coast Charm but Limited Diversity
Next up is Koh Tao which is another renowned diving destination where divers encounter a different but equally enchanting underwater realm. First off, Koh Tao is known for its affordability, diver-friendly atmosphere, and over 100 dive schools therefore making it an attractive choice for new divers. However, while the marine life is abundant and the coral formations are impressive, Koh Tao falls short in terms of diversity compared to its counterpart, Koh Phi Phi.
Larger groups = different experience
Because of the cheaper diving prices you will find that your dive groups are larger than they are on Koh Phi Phi. Therefore your guide will be busier looking after the group and they may not have as much time to find exciting marine life to share with you. Furthermore, in Koh Tao the dive boats are moored up therefore your dive route will always lead you back to the boat. Whereas in Koh Phi Phi, the diving boats will come to pick you up once you have finished exploring the dive sites.
In conclusion, whether you prioritize budget, vibrant marine life, captivating dive sites, or a well-rounded underwater experience, Koh Phi Phi emerges as the superior destination for scuba diving enthusiasts. In fact, the amazing dive sites, diverse marine ecosystems, and the captivating underwater topography collectively position Koh Phi Phi as a diver’s paradise that truly stands apart.
