About Ton Sai Beach
Ton Sai Beach is the main bay-side training area on Koh Phi Phi Don, with a buoy-lined zone that keeps beginner divers separated from the boat lanes. The water is shallow and sandy, so it works more like a controlled practice beach than a reef dive. It is the kind of place where new divers can learn comfortably, provided they stay inside the marked area and treat the busy pier traffic with care.
