Dive-site story
Situated along the western limestone flanks of Koh Phi Phi Leh, Palong Wall features vertical rock faces that slope down into hard coral gardens and open sand. The site is known for dependable encounters with resident blacktip reef sharks patrolling the upper reef plateau. Hawksbill turtles frequently graze among the sea fans and sponges lining the crevices, while schools of yellowtail fusiliers sweep along the outer wall face.
