Dive-site story
Limestone monoliths drop beneath the surface into boulder fields, overhangs, and soft coral gardens around Koh Phi Phi. Divers navigate submerged swim-throughs and sea fan slopes where pelagics cruise alongside macro critters sheltering in craggy rock crevices. Plankton blooms can reduce water clarity during tidal shifts, yet they draw schooling fish and feeding rays along the outer walls.
