Loh Samah Bay is located on the east side of Phi Phi Ley and is actually seperated from Maya Beach by a very narrow cut in the rocks that it's possible to walk through. Loh Samah Bay is also popular with snorkelling trips. 
The diving is done around a small islet that fills the bay. It is possible to circle the island at least once on one tank of air. It's a wall dive, on it's outer side reaching 20m and coming shallower on the inner side. There is a narrow channel that divers can just swim through without disturbing the beautiful soft corals and corgonian seafans on either side. The wall is covered in corals and clams and is home to all the usual Phi Phi dive site marine life. Turtles are common here too and are often seen ripping at the bubble coral.
Loh Samah bay is an excellent night dive spot when coral polyps come out to feed and torches really show up the colour of the wall. Shrimps, lobster and crabs are all over the wall. Moray eels are more active at night whereas parrotfish are sleeping in their protective cocoon.
