Pileh Wall 1
Shallow Phi Phi wall with soft coral, sharks, and nearby lagoon traffic.
Local operator required
This site is normally dived from guided day boats, and guides actively manage the route to avoid traffic and keep groups clear of the lagoon entrance.
Pileh Wall 1 follows the outside edge of Pileh Lagoon, mixing an easy shallow wall with a small sloping bay section and regular blacktip activity near a very busy surface zone.
About Pileh Wall 1
Pileh Wall 1 is a shallow limestone wall beside Pileh Lagoon, known for soft coral color, gorgonian fans, and easy wall cruising close to one of Phi Phi Leh's busiest boat corridors. It is often a relaxed dive, but the site stays interesting because blacktip reef sharks patrol the shallows and the northern side becomes less forgiving if you stray too close to the lagoon traffic.
