Diving in Koh Phi Phi
Why dive Phi Phi
The Phi Phi archipelago sits inside a Marine National Park in the Andaman Sea, 46 km off Phuket and Krabi. The reefs are healthy, the wildlife is varied — from leopard sharks and blacktips to schools of tropical fish — and dive sites like Bida Nok, Shark Point and the King Cruiser wreck sit within a 20-minute boat ride from our centre in Tonsai Bay.

Conditions year-round
When to dive in Koh Phi Phi Don
You can dive Koh Phi Phi all year. Water temperatures stay between 27 and 30 °C, currents are generally gentle, and most operators (including us) run trips 365 days a year. The dry season — November to April — gives the calmest seas and the best visibility (up to 30 m in February and March). The wet season — May to October — brings more plankton, which means a slightly higher chance of seeing whale sharks and manta rays at the southern sites like Hin Daeng and Hin Muang, but also a drop in visibility of around 25%.Sharks: Black-tip reef sharks and leopard (zebra) sharks year-round. Best chance on calm mornings at Bida Nok, Bida Nai and Shark Point.Manta rays & whale sharks: seasonal and unpredictable. The plankton-rich waters of June–October at Hin Daeng and Hin Muang give the highest odds, but no honest operator guarantees sightings.

Nov–Feb (cool dry)
27–28 °C · 20–25 m vis
Calm seas, good visibility, the busiest months. Western sites preferred when northeast winds push swell onto the eastern shore. Ideal for Open Water courses.
Mar–May (peak)
28–30 °C · 25–30 m vis
The best window of the year. Visibility peaks (often 30 m in March), seas are flat, water is at its warmest. Manta and whale shark sightings at Hin Daeng/Hin Muang start to pick up at the end of the period.
Jun–Sep (low / plankton)
29 °C · 12–18 m vis
Southwest monsoon. Surface swell and rain reduce visibility ~25%, but plankton-rich water means higher chances of mantas and whale sharks. Fewer divers, more flexible bookings.
Oct (shoulder)
29 °C · 15 m vis
Heaviest rainfall of the year. Diving still happens almost every day, but trip planning is more weather-dependent. Cheapest month.

FAQs about Koh Phi Phi Don
Everything you wanted to ask.
Still curious? Message us — we usually reply within minutes.
Chat on WhatsAppIs Phi Phi good for diving?
Yes — Phi Phi is one of Thailand's signature diving destinations. The archipelago sits inside a Marine National Park in the Andaman Sea with healthy reefs, year-round reef sharks and leopard sharks, vertical walls at sites like Hin Daeng, and the famous King Cruiser wreck just north of the island. Visibility is consistently good, currents are mostly gentle, and dive sites are 20 to 60 minutes from our centre in Tonsai Bay.
Can beginners dive in Phi Phi?
Yes, and Phi Phi is one of the best places in Thailand to learn. Sites like Bida Nai, Maya Bay and Anemone Reef have gentle currents, shallow profiles and easy entries — perfect for Try Scuba, Scuba Diver and Open Water students. Advanced sites like Hin Daeng, Hin Muang and the King Cruiser wreck are reserved for certified divers with the right experience.
When is the best time to dive in Koh Phi Phi?
November to April — the dry season. Visibility peaks at 25–30 m in February and March, seas are calm, and water temperature sits between 27 and 30 °C. The wet season (May–October) is still divable almost every day; you get more plankton (and therefore a higher chance of whale sharks and mantas at Hin Daeng/Hin Muang), but visibility drops by around 25%.
What's the water temperature in Phi Phi?
Surface temperature stays between 27 °C (December–January) and 30 °C (March–May) all year. A shortie or rashguard is enough most days; some divers wear a 3 mm wetsuit during the cooler months.
How's the visibility?
Typically 15 to 30 metres. Best in February and March (up to 30 m), worst during the heaviest rain of the southwest monsoon (June–October), when it can drop to 12–15 m. Northern sites like Shark Point and the King Cruiser usually hold better visibility than the southern reefs during the rainy season.
Are there sharks in Phi Phi?
Yes — and the ones you'll see are completely harmless. The most common are black-tip reef sharks (year-round at Maya Bay and Bida Nok), leopard sharks resting on the sand at Shark Point, and occasionally bamboo sharks inside the King Cruiser wreck. Whale sharks are seasonal and rare but do appear at Hin Daeng and Hin Muang during the plankton-rich months (June–October).
How much does diving in Phi Phi cost?
Fun dives start at 2,700 THB for two tanks and courses range from 3,600 THB for a Try Scuba day to 37,000 THB for the full Divemaster programme. See the courses section above for the full price list. National Marine Park fees (600 THB first day, 200 THB each extra day) are not included and are paid on the boat.
How do I get to Phi Phi?
By ferry. The two main entry points are Krabi (Klong Jilad Pier or Ao Nang) and Phuket (Rassada Pier) — both routes take roughly 90 minutes to 2 hours by ferry, or 45 minutes by speedboat. Our centre is in Tonsai Bay, a 5-minute walk from the pier where every ferry arrives.
