Vertical wall dives are lavished in clams and wing oysters, lionfish nestled in large cracks and the camouflaged bearded scorpion fish. Coral trouts, bannerfish, butterfly fish and angelfish are to name but a few of the many reef fish you will come across. You may also find the gentle Leopard Shark around the island as well as some black tips swimming along the reef.
Viking bay site is situated on the east side of PhiPhi Ley, right next to the popular VIking cave. This hidden place is perfect fo diving during monsoon season or when the sea is too choppy to dive outside.
This dive place is a combination between an artificial reef and lively natural reef on th north end. It is a shallow and east reef which it used often for second or third dive. Prefect for training dives!
The artificial reef is made by piles of cubes-shaped concrete and life has been growing on it for several years. There are a lot of fish and coral varieties and Black-tips can be often spotted on the shallow part.
Losamah Bay is located on the southern tip of the island. It features a small islet at the centre of the bay and a little beach at the backside of its northern part. However, it is another easy and shallow site for all snorkelling and diving activities.
This dive site has a lot of small life around and black-tips can be seen. The visibility can great as well as average after long rainy days. But, it is a perfect spot to hide from bad sea conditions or even in between dives for lunch.
Maya Corner is located at the enrance and the popular and well-known Maya bay from the movie "the beach". It is now a protected beach and no one is allow to enter this well-guarded area. But, diving is allowed at its entrance where Maya Corner (garden) dive site is beautiful with swim through haven. A cliff walls gently slope to a sand-bed at 18m.
Life is there from small micros to rock fishes and turtles. Black-tips can be often spotted as well, hunting in the shallower part.
Palong Bay is a reef dive located on the north-west tip of koh Phi Phi Ley Island. With easy condition this house reef is ideal dive site for student and fun divers, allowing various depths along the plateau and a sheltered environment. Palong bay is built up from colossal rocks breaking the surface and dropping to 19m. Navigating the site is usually done along the shallower depths of the wall.

Hope to dive with you again, great experience - I was unable to dive due to injury but I would go to the shop everyday and was greeted, they have a nice sitting area next to the water... read more to relax. When the boat would arrive back my husband would tell me about his day. Our group went out on the boat for 3 dives a day for 5 days, (first two were 60 mins and the third was 45mins. My husbands group had both Josh and Erica as the dive guides, they both did a great job keeping the group together, they were easy to dive with, courteous, professional, and had fun. The Captain, who also came to get the group every day at the hotel was very nice, had a smile on his face and was safe regardless of driving the trucks or the boat. The boats are big and comfortable as mentioned in other reports, food and drinks were available. All and all it was a great experience and we will return again. thanks to all. In addition, I'd like to that Matt for all the pictures If made me feel like i was underwater.
25 February 2023 I just did my open water diving licence there and the guys from the Diving Center are doing a very professional job (they are not overwhelmingly friendly or funny, I... read more felt like they keep a professionelle distance)
, everything went on really fluent, the boat trip to the spots was enjoyable (thanks to the anti sea-sickness pills from the Diving Center), the food was delicious, the thai staff was extremely friendly, and the dives have been nice! I did the course because I am/was really afraid of deep water, the sea, swimming... I always felt like water is just not my element. With all the knowledge I got and my very calm and sophisticated teacher (thanks Raf) I managed to go down and keep breathing. From Dive to dive my fear shrunk and I could enjoy my experience. The only thing what I was missing was a long wetsuit as I started freezing at the end of every dive.Stay08598734055

The catamaran is large, clean and well appointed. Lots of room to chill between dives. Breakfast, lunch and snacks provided on board were really good quality. The quality of the diving gear is fine. There were two of us and we did 3 dives each for 2 days. Groups are small, with no more than 4 individuals per guide. Our guides, Brice and Mark were both excellent, both knowledgeable and attentive and really made our trip special. All the staff and the owner are very pleasant and helpful.
Overall, am very impressed with Blue Planet Divers, would thoroughly recommend. Thank you to Blue Planet!pap5225

29 July 2023Totally recommend Blue Planet Divers Koh Lanta. It’s good for divers of any experience- I got my open water here and it was great. For the pool day, they drove... read more us across the island so we could use a decent sized pool. Then the next 2 days of diving in the ocean we dove at 5 different places, all with amazing sea life. The shop and boat was clean and organized. The crew and dive instructors were very helpful. Their gear seemed well maintained. They provided breakfast, lunch, beverages, and snacks. I stayed at their dive house which was extremely convenient. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Thank you!

Staff was... read more very friendly but it was quite dangerous getting on and off the boat when we were at the dock. We had to crawl to get off. They could definitely improve the safety on that. Other than that it was a nice day out.

I did... read more my PADI OPEN WATER and Deep Diver Adventure course with an extra 10 dive package.
