Ko Phi Phi
Ko Phi Phi is located about 22 km west of Ko Lanta, the Phi Phi Islands comprise Phi Phi Don, Phi Phi Ley, Ko Yung (Mosquito Island) and Ko Mai Pai (Bamboo Island) and offer consistently good diving that rivals the Similan Islands.
There are over 30 different dive sites to choose from at Ko Phi Phi, offering more great places to teach students. Phi Phi is best known for its fabulous Sea Fans and as home of the Leopard Shark. Ko Phi Phi is another great place to gain experience as you train to become a PADI Divemaster or PADI Dive Instructor
The rugged limestone cliffs plunging into aquamarine waters make Phi Phi an unforgettable destination for holidaymakers and divers alike. Underwater, the scenery only becomes more breathtaking. With long caves, dramatic overhangs, walls that go down to 30 m and a fabulous display of hard and soft coral, the diving around Phi Phi is varied and spectacular.
Phi Phi tends not to have such consistently fantastic visibility as Ko Haa, but the top dive sites; Bidah Nai, Bidah Nok and Hin Bidah are home to such a concentration of marine and coral life that divers tend not to even notice!

Phi Phi is best known as home of the Leopard Shark. These docile, nocturnal creatures are normally found lying on the sand facing into the current; they are one of only four species of shark that doesn’t need to keep swimming in order to breathe. They like to eat crustaceans, small fish and sea snakes.
Surprisingly little else is known about the species, although they are believed to be closely related to the Whale Shark.
They can grow up to 3.5 meters and are completely harmless to humans. Other marine life is plentiful and varied. Most of the fish and coral species that are found in the Similans can also be found around Phi Phi. Even the elusive Whale Shark is spotted several times a year – most often at Bidah Nok.
Phi Phi Ley has several dive sites where harmless Black Tip Reef Sharks, Hawksbill Turtles and even Tiger tail Seahorses can be found.
