Safety Notes
Stay close to the guide and surface in a safe zone because Maya Bay speedboat traffic is the main operational hazard. Current is usually weak to moderate rather than strong.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only. Plan the dive as part of a guided Phi Phi day trip or liveaboard and keep to marine-park operating rules.
Legal Notes
Ko Phi Phi is part of a national park, so marine-park fees and park rules apply to visitor and dive operations.
