There are many dive centres to choose from in the Ton Sai Bay area and they all charge the same prices. Diving daytrips to Phi Phi are also possible from Krabi and Phuket as are some overnight trips. Dive liveaboards from Phuket island include Phi Phi on their schedule when they dive Hin Daeng and Hin Muang.
There are over 15 dive sites around the Phi Phi islands. There are walls, swim-throughs, caverns, caves, drift dives, and a wreck. Phi Phi is probably the best dive destination in Thailand to see leopard sharks, blacktip reef sharks, turtles and sea snakes. Whale sharks also visit Phi Phi each year with February to early May being the most likely months for an encounter with the gentle giants.
Visibility on Phi Phi dives can be fantastic at 30+ metres but it can also drop to just 10m during plankton blooms. Most dive sites are no deeper than 30m maximum and currents are mild. Phi Phi is a good place to learn to dive as it's good value and there is a great social scene around the dive centres.
Phi Phi dive sites:
Bida Nai, Bida Nok, Gareng Heng, Hin Dot, Wang Long, Maya Bay, Maya Wall, Loh Samah Bay, Phi Phi Shark Point (Hin Bida), Shark Point, Anemone Reef, King Cruiser Wreck
