About this dive site

Located at the southern end of the Phi Phi Islands chain, Koh Bida Nai and Koh Bida Nok offer a diverse range of diving experiences suitable for divers of all skill levels. The area features depths ranging from 8 to 28 meters, presenting opportunities for both exploring shallow reefs and venturing into more substantial walls. Leopard sharks are frequently observed resting on the sandy bottom, sometimes swimming gracefully – a truly remarkable sight. The underwater landscape is rich with colorful soft corals intertwined with hard coral formations, providing shelter for moray eels and scorpionfish. Koh Bida Nai boasts an impressive archway filled with tiny baitfish, leading to a beautiful shallow hard coral garden. Bida Nok presents several swimthroughs along its western side, revealing a complex jumble of giant boulders. Occasionally, turtles can be spotted amongst the reef.
