About Hin Bida Reef
Hin Bida Reef is a Phi Phi boat dive built around a rounded reef with shark-filled sand patches and coral-covered fingers around the main rock. Divers come here for leopard sharks, blacktip reef sharks, and other reef life rather than for a simple drift or wall profile. The site is best treated as a current-sensitive reef circuit where the shallow top and outer fringes set the plan.
