Hin Dot

Known as Chimney Rock this site is located just outside Tonsai Bay, south of Phi Phi Don. Due to its exposed location it is only diveable at certain times of the month but forms a great multilevel dive with ledges on the pinicle at three, twelve and fifteen metres, then a drop of down to thirty metres. This provides an ever-changing underwater scenery as you slowly ascend, spiraling ever upwards.

Soft corals, tube corals and hard corals dominate with christmas tree and tube worms. The deeper walls are embedded with zigzag clams, giant clams and oysters. Large schooling fish are common, feeding on the smaller baitfish. Many Reef Fish can be seen including Lunar Wrasse,Parrot Fish, Potato Grouper, Spot Fin and Indian Lion Fish. Bearded Scorpionfish lurk among the coralline-encrusted rocks awaiting their prey of tiny fish.

Ton Sai Bay & The Tsunami Memorial

Thailand’s first underwater tsunami memorial lies 1.4 kilometers offshore of Ton Sai Bay, Phi Phi Don, and at a depth of 20 meters, took about one month to install. The monument comprises three large granite markers, each 150 centimeters tall and arranged to form an equilateral triangle, with a smaller 80cm-high granite marker standing in the center. The distance between each of the markers is 5,395cm, corresponding to the number of victims whose names and nationalities are identified. At a location exactly 2,874cm from the memorial site is a traditional Thai sala, built from wood collected from the wreckage left behind by the tidal wave. The distance to the center of the monument represents the number of victims whose identity could not be determined.

The Site provides one of Phi Phi’s most popular night dives replete with spiny lobsters, anemone crabs, free swimming morays and barracuda.

Nui Bay

Ao Nui is situated on Phi Phi Don, near Lah Dalum Bay is ideal for both snorkeling and scuba with lots of corals and colorful reef-fish. The western section features a wall that descends to a depth of 20m where there is a series of caves with lines. Many moray eels, squadrons of lionfish and Blue-ringed, Imperial and Emperor Angelfish patrol the shallower parts of the bay and sea horses are frequently encountered.
