The islands off Krabi's coastline offer great snorkelling and,
further afield, some great dive sites.
The remarkable variety of dive sites that are concentrated in such
a small area, particularly off Phi Phi Don Island, is what makes
this area unique, as do the amazing limestone cliffs that rise dramatically
out of the sea and plunge equally dramatically straight down underwater.
The opportunity to relax on exquisite beaches, explore the numerous
coves and bays, whilst enjoying some colourful scuba diving or snorkeling
in this yet relatively unexplored marine park environment, is one
not to be missed.
Day trips and overnight excursions can easily be arranged through
the many dive shops around Krabi year-round, with late-October to
mid-May being peak season. Snorkeling and diving equipment can be
rented at most places. A number of first-rate dive shops offer affordable
scuba accreditation (usually PADI) from absolute beginner up to
master instructor in a range of languages.
