Why dive here
With 173+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, whale sharks and clownfish - Viking Cave offers some of Similan Islands's richest cave diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
Viking Cave isn't a dive *into* the cave itself, but rather a site named for the impressive cavern entrance visible from the surface on Koh Phi Phi Leh. We drop down to explore the wall and rocky formations outside. It’s a shallower dive, usually good for spotting reef fish tucked into crevices and perhaps a passing turtle. Best for a relaxed second or third dive of the day.
Safety Notes
Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
