Phi Phi Island - Thailand

[K.Haroon]

Visited Phi Phi Islands in November 2018. Located approximately 40km south west of Krabi and 48km east of Phuket. They consists of limestone and sand islands located in the clear waters of the Andaman Sea. Diving in phi phi continues throughout the year. November to April is the dry season and busiest period with visibility ranging from 15 to 30 metres depending on which dive site you go to. Water temperature remains constant at around 30 degrees celsius. Subject to weather on a particular day, generally it’s possible to go to all of dive sites in the dry season. May to October is the wet season, however, the major attraction (Marine National Park) can still be dived all year round. Visibility averages 5 to 15 metres and there is always plenty of colourful coral and reef fish to see. It’s not possible to dive the more remote sights during this period.The islands have colourful tropical fish and turtles and also some bigger visitors like the blacktip reef shark, whalesharks and leopard shark. A great diversity of coral types and formations can also be found here. Went diving with Island Divers and was satisfied with them.
