Krabi, Koh Lanta and Koh Phi Phi

Dive with a definite difference.
What sets Ko Phi Phi apart from other dive destinations in Thailand is two features: The first is the amazing limestone cliffs rising dramatically out to the sea and plunging equally dramatically straight down underwater. 

The second is the remarkable variety of dive sites that are concentrated in such a small area. Underwater, these tower shape a rugged, interesting environment for scuba divers, and over time  the elements have created caves,overhangs, and swim-throughs in this soft rock. Some caves penetrate the rock as much as 30 meters or more which make for exciting exploration. Other types of environment include vertical walls that plunge from the surface to over 25 meters.

On these walls grow a profusion of soft corals, large orange sea fans, black coral and long stringy sea whips, Several types of unusual coral trees grow in the waters surrounding Ko Phi Phi, including a white coral bush that looks like a frocked Christmas tree and is covered with ornament-like growth in the form of oysters and crinoids.

In many places, the islands are fringed with hard-coral gardens, home to a wide assortment of radiant tropical creatures. In most areas coral growth and marine life including five species of anemone fish-is profuse and most, but not all of the same fish species that inhabit the Similans can be found around Ko Phi Phi as well.

Ko Phi Phi is one of the most sensationally beautiful island chains
in the world and the diving ranks among the best in Southeast Asia. Although visibility is often limited, averaging 5-20 meters, the amount of marine life under the calm waters of Ko Phi Phi should keep all but the most seasoned diver entertained for a number of days.

The enjoyable diving, along with beautiful beaches, fun exploratory cruises, and an easy-going way of life, will continue to make Ko Phi Phi one of Thailand’s most popular destinations for years to come.

How to get there: Land transportation to Krabi is available from any city in Thailand. Ferries to Phi Phi are available from Krabi, Phuket, and Ko Lanta.
