Dive Koh Phi Phi - Palong
Located just north of Maya Bay, diving @ Phi Phi Palong north and south are two quite different dive sites.
The first dive to the north of Palong Bay is where we can sometimes see black tip reef sharks in the shallows, with leopard sharks and blue spotted stingrays sometimes found slightly deeper, resting on the sand.
The second dive at Palong is to the south of the bay, heading towards Maya Bay. Half-way along this reef is a series of excellent swim-throughs and small tunnels on the rock formations, however we mostly visit Palong South to dive with the hawksbill turtles which live along this reef and can be regularly seen on our dives here.
This dive site is home to many species of marine life which we don't normally see at our other dive sites and is one of our favourite locations for diving.
The diving @ Phi Phi Palong is also close to other excellent dive sites, including Viking Bay (Table Coral City & Artificial Reef), the HTMS Kledkaeo Wreck, Pi Leh Bay & Pi Leh Wall and Hin Klai.

We also love to dive around the Bida Nok, Bida Nai, and Hin Bida, which are also close to the Phi Phi Palong dive site.
