Phi Phi Islands Diving – Sharks, Turtles & Sea Horses
The Phi Phi Islands are an incredible diving experience. In the first 5 minutes of your dive at Koh Bida Nok, you’re likely to be able to tick blacktip reef sharks off your list. It won’t be just one, you could be swimming with a dozen or more! Sharks from half metre babies up to the 2m long adults patrol the shallows of the sheltered bay where we make the first drop. A great start to the day.
Then it’s off to’Turtle Rock‘ which is home to hungry Hawksbills. Many of them very unperturbed by divers so they make for great muses for photographers and videographers. Phi Phi also plays host to schooling Big Eye Snappers, Golden Trevally, Harlequin Shrimp and some Nudibranch life like the Stricklandi & Halgerda families. It truly is a wonderful diving experience for all levels of certified divers!
An Awesome Stop On The Way back
On the return journey from Phi Phi to Phuket, we stop at either Shark Point or Anemone Reef. Both sites are famous for Tiger Tail Seahorse and have regular Leopard Shark appearances. Both sites also attract Whale Sharks, this season we have had many amazing experiences with these gentle giants on both pinnacles. If you are a Macro fan, Anemone Reef is an explorers paradise as the fine sand surrounding it attracts the rare and exotic, the pinnacle itself is alive with Anemones and a busy home for Tiger Tail Seahorses!

Equipment RentalPhi Phi Islands, Shark Point Tour Itinerary
Our dive tours to Phi Phi Island & Shark Point, usually see us doing the first two dives at Phi Phi. The final dive of the day at Shark Point or Anemone Reef. Organising the dives this way is extremely good for courses or new or returning divers as it allows you to get back in the water on shallow, easy dive sites like Koh Bida Nok. Shark Point and Anemone Reef can be a little bit more demanding so they’re generally the final dive.
