This trip is for certified divers with all scuba equipment included in prices.
Schedule:
Meet - We meet 1 day in advance at our beautiful office and enjoy a coffee on the veranda overlooking the ocean. We will size you for equipment and complete registration. We can arrange to meet you at the pier on the day of diving where your gear will await on board our boat.
Pier - We visit the National Park station at the pier to collect your diving tickets, then board our custom longtail boat where your equipment will be waiting. Our PADI team of instructors and Divemasters will brief you and oversee equipment preparation before heading to the dive sites!
Diving - The trip takes 20 - 30 minutes to the dive site and our team choose the best site that day according to conditions, safety and what amazing sightings we have been having! Most of our dive sites suit divers of all levels.
After gearing up and buddy checks, you will roll into the water and descend into the shallow crystal waters! You will see the reef from the surface and then follow your guide for a nice long dive (maximum time 60 minutes).
What you might see - On top of the diverse variety of hard and soft corals, we have a healthy population of Hawksbill turtles at Viking Cove, Malong Shelf & Malong Wall. Harmless Black Tips can be spotted almost everywhere but more frequently at Palong, Mushroom Rock & Bida Nok Bay. We have scorpionfish, octopus, moray eels, cuttlefish, stingrays, nemo along with big schools or barrakuda/jacks/snappers as well as amazing Macro life (Nudibranch, seahorse & ghostpipefish)
Surface Interval - We take a 1 hour break between dives to rest and serve a Zero Waste Lunch. Our longtail boats access secluded beaches, bays or the lagoon at Phi Phi Leh - perfect for some snorkeling or some Instagram shots! Choose from our Thai or Western Menu for your individual lunch choice, and fresh pineapple & banana will be served on board.
Dive sites - We choose the best site of the day according to the conditions and what you want to see. We will change up the routes and dive sites for you. If you see turtles on the first dive your guide will plan your second dive at a site that has chance to see sharks. The dive sites are close to each other and we have wall dives, pinnacles, boulders, sandy bays, artificial reefs, sloping reefs and shelf dives. Swim-throughs, overhangs and coral cities!
Optional Wreck Trip addon- On one of your 3 days you can upgrade to a local Wreck Dive for 600 THB if conditions allow. Our local wreck is at 26 metres depth so you must be Advanced Open Water Certified . If you are not Advanced Certified you can upgrade for 1,300 THB to dive the wreck as your 'PADI Adventure Deep Dive'. Visit the local Kled Gaeow Wreck for a deeper, fish filled dive. The second dive will be a local site of our choosing.
