Dive Spot Guide•
Ao Nui
Ao Nui is a sheltered Phi Phi reef with a mini wall.
Local operator required
The site is commonly visited by local operators and Krabi dive centers rather than used as a DIY shore entry.
Boat-access reef site with mild currents, strong coral, and quiet-operator access; a comfortable choice when sea state is calm.
About Ao Nui
Ao Nui is a sheltered reef-and-wall dive on the northwest side of Koh Phi Phi Don. The site circles a rocky outcrop just outside the bay, with a reef slope, a small wall, and easy snorkeling on the shallow face. It is a comfortable boat dive for divers who want clear water, mild current, and plenty of coral and reef fish without the feel of a hard-current site.
