Black Tip Reef Shark at Palong Wall Phi Phi Islands dive tour

Palong Wall – Shark Diving Phuket

Palong Wall is the place for shark diving Phuket. Very rarely do we go here and not see blacktip reef sharks and sometimes in big numbers. If the visibility is good then you can have 10 or more in view. The sharks cruise around on the 5 - 8m deep shelf which runs the entire length of the dive site. They can vary in size from almost 2m long adults to less than a metre long juveniles. Our guides will take you down to the bottom of the reef [...]

Diving Phuket With Hawksbill Turtles

Turtle Rock – Phi Phi Ley

If you want to go diving with turtles then Turtle Rock is the dive site for you. It's very rare that we don't see hawksbill turtles and usually more than one. They feed on the shallow shelves that run along the wall at Koh Phi Phi Ley. So shallow that snorkelers can usually see them. Quite often your safety stop is spent observing the turtles munching away on the bubble corals. They've got pretty used to divers over the years and seem to be c [...]

Koh Bida Nai Scuba Diving Location

Koh Bida Nai

In the interest of variety we don't dive Koh Bida Nai very often. It's very similar to it's sister island Koh Bida Nok which we consider to be a better dive site. It was on a par but since we lost the beautiful staghorn fields to coral bleaching it's lost a little of it's lustre. Still it's an interesting dive site with lots of hard corals, boulders and swim throughs. The swim through at the south west corner is particular nice. It forms a [...]

The Best Phi Phi Diving – Koh Bida Nok

Phi Phi diving is a fairly long but pleasant journey for us but it's worth it. It's a leisurely 2hr 30min journey from Phuket but that's not an issue on our comfortable dive boats. Sometimes we're fortunate enough to see a pod of dolphins following the boat and we've even seen whales on the journey out. Even before you get in the water you'll be already impressed by the dive site. Twin limestone karsts topped with tropical foliage jut out [...]
