Dive-site story
Located along the eastern coast of Koh Phi Phi Leh, Viking Bay features a gently sloping coral reef alongside an artificial reef project made of concrete cubes. The site provides sheltered conditions sheltered from prevailing western swells, making it a reliable training and relaxed exploration zone. Divers navigate between healthy coral bommies, scattered boulders, and artificial nursery blocks that attract a steady congregation of coastal marine life.
Artificial reef blocks encrusted with soft corals and sheltering juvenile fish
