RTN Kled Gaeow is Phi Phi’s local navy wreck, a purpose-sunk artificial reef east of Phi Phi Leh. It offers a compact, structure-rich profile with schools of fish, scorpionfish, lionfish and macro life around the plates and hull. This is a better fit for advanced divers because the site is deep, current-sensitive and most rewarding when the boat plan is matched to a slack window.
