Overview - General Information

Phi Phi Island is a year round diving destination. Even the so called "monsoon season" is not a period of torrential rain all day long - but rather it is characterized by short but powerful downpours followed by bright sunny skies. However, the best season and sea conditions are from October through May. Water temperatures generally hover around 30°Celsius year round, making a 3mm Shorty or Lycra suit more than sufficient.

Within a Day Trips reach of Phi Phi Island are more then 20 Dive Sites (see map). Phi Phi Scuba Diving Center is the only Facility on the island that has 4 custom-built Dive Boats and is therefore able to offer 4 different Dive Trips every day - it is this choice that makes us the premier Dive Operator on the island.

In general the Andaman Sea around Phi Phi Island offers outstanding - world class - soft and hard corals, and also because the Dive Sites are surrounded by a sandy bottom, not integrated in endless reefs, the variety and density of the fishes for the particular Dive Sites are excellent. For more about the marine life to be found in Phi Phi's water please see our Photo Gallery.

Phi Phi Scuba Diving Center offers the following services on all Trips

• small groups guided by professional PADI Divemasters (4-5 Divers max.)
• all the equipment is already on the Boat when you arrive in the morning (no gear carrying for the customers)
• all dives are strictly no-decompression Dives, if possible we aim for 60-minute Dives plus a 3-minute Safety Stop
• surface interval between Dives is between 1½ and 2 hours
• for lunch you can go snorkelling or swimming or just sunbathe on deck

Note: All of our Trips are suitable for Divers of every experience level!
