Why dive here
With 173+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, whale sharks and clownfish - Koh Phi Phi offers some of Similan Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
Koh Phi Phi in the Similans offers a relaxed shallow dive, perfect for newer divers or those looking for an easy second dive. It’s a sandy bottom with scattered coral patches where we often find various juvenile reef fish sheltering. Keep an eye out for blue-spotted rays gliding across the sand. With a maximum depth of 16m and generally mild conditions, it’s a good spot for a gentle introduction to the Similan experience.
