Koh Phi Phi is home to almost a dozen great diving sites, most of which can be enjoyed by divers of all levels. There are very few times or spots where currents are an issue, and the general sea conditions are good for diving almost all year round. Depths are usually no more than 30 metres, but there’s something to see right up to the surface at almost every Koh Phi Phi diving site. Koh Lanta diving boats sail across most mornings and moor up around Koh Phi Phi Lei (which is where the movie The Beach was filmed) between dives. While Bida Nok and Bida Nai are probably Koh Phi Phi’s most popular diving sites, there are plenty to choose from depending on the conditions on the day and how many other diving boats are around.

While some people may question what the point of staying on Koh Lanta and diving at Koh Phi is, there are plenty of good answers. The two islands are quite different in what they offer tourists, and the large diving boats from Koh Lanta are comfortable and stable to spend that extra time on.
Loh Samah Bay is one of best diving sites at Koh Phi Phi for those who want a safe and easy, yet colourful and enjoyable day or night dive. It is located on the entrance to Maya Bay, which is where the Di Caprio movie The Beach was filmed. Although it is suitable for beginners, experienced and even professional divers should not be put off.
Bida Nok is one of best dive sites at Koh Phi Phi, and certainly one of the most popular, too. It has something for everyone, and pretty much every day of the year, as well. The marine life, depth, and sea conditions make it a consistently great dive site.
