Why dive here
With 177+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, giant moray eels, whale sharks, clownfish and pufferfish - Koh Bitsi, Koh Lek offers some of Koh Lanta & Phi Phi's richest reef diving.
Koh Bitsi, Koh Lek is a solid choice for a mellow morning dive, particularly if you’re new to the area or still getting comfortable. The maximum depth of 17 meters means you get plenty of bottom time to drift along, watching the resident schools of snapper and fusiliers. We often spot pipefish tucked into the nooks, and the occasional cuttlefish makes an appearance, curious but quick to camouflage. It’s a great spot for taking it easy, finning around the gentle reef, and dialling in your buoyancy.
