Depth Note
Public site descriptions consistently place the route on a shallow plateau around 5-6 m dropping into mid-teen reef and wall terrain, while some broader area listings mention deeper local maxima; 18 m is used as the conservative recreational depth baseline here.
Best Season
The most reliable conditions are typically during the Andaman dry season from about November to April, with January to March often offering the calmest surface conditions and clearest water.
Typical Conditions
Divers usually start shallow and follow a gentle reef-and-wall profile in light current. Ordinary visibility is often in the 10-20 m range, and the site is commonly treated as one of the easier Phi Phi Leh dives.

Safety Notes
This is generally an easy guided boat dive, but it still runs from live boats around Phi Phi Leh and should be dived with the guide's route and pickup plan. Maintain normal spacing from the wall and reef edge, especially if visibility softens or boats are active nearby.
