ITINERARY: Already a qualified diver? Book fun dives at some of Krabi’s top dive sites around the Phi Phi Islands and further afield on a fully equipped, comfortable dive boat. Please provide your certification level in the order notes at checkout.

The dive sites visited will vary daily, but will usually focus on local diving (Ao Nang Islands) or the Phi Phi archipelago. The latter offers excellent swim throughs and wall dives to 25m; a wreck dive; an astonishing anemone reef; and “shark point” – a haven for leopard and other reef sharks. If you are interested in wreck diving, go for Wednesday excursion which offers 3 dives – at the King Cruiser ferry wreck, Anemone Reef and Shark Point Sanctuary. Most other days at Phi Phi will offer 2 dives as standard, except for Sunday, which is a “Superday” with 3 dives, usually around Maya Bay, Ao Nui, Bida or Koh Yung.

Closer to shore, the Ao Nang islands offer less visibility (4 – 15m) but more diversity in coral and marine life – particularly smaller creatures like nudibranchs and seahorses. The topography is varied – offering a 40m tunnel, as well as relaxed drift diving. Book on Wednesday or Sunday to do a night dive in the same area. The waters in Krabi are suitable for both beginner and experienced divers.

Accompanying non-divers are welcome on board; please select the passenger rate that matches your diving companion’s package. Non-divers are welcome to snorkel at the same sites at no extra charge, with equipment provided. Please note that for the Ao Nang daytime dives and Shark Point / Phi Phi Superday, no guide will be present. For all other trips, a snorkeling guide will be available.

Finally, if you will be in Krabi on a Monday in high season, don’t miss the opportunity to dive Koh Haa Yai, one of Krabi’s best dive sites, offering both shallow lagoon diving, as well as incredible, light filled underwater caves and the possibility of a close encounter with large pelagics like whale sharks or manta rays.

Schedule is subject to change.
Prices include full equipment rental, including tanks, weights and weight belt.
Optional extras available include private guide (1 between max. 2 people); a check dive for those who have not dived for 6 months or more (a supervised “refresher” dive to go over key skills); and a babysitter for any younger passengers with both parents diving.

Comfort levels on board the dive boat are high, with a toilet, shower, and dining area and two decks to relax and take in the scenery. A buffet lunch, early morning and afternoon snacks, soft drinks, electrolytes, tea and coffee are included in the trip price.

Expected group size: 10 – 50 pax, depending on the day and time of year.

Important: These packages are for qualified divers only.
