    Best dive operator so far!

    As a diver with 12 years experience, I can say with certainty that you will not be disappointed with this trip. TLDR: 5⭐️ welcome, 5⭐️ food, 5⭐️ education, 5⭐️ energy, 5⭐️ experience and a bonus star for big smiles and good fun! My wife, daughter and I made a total of 14 dives over 2 days. The dive operator, Blue View Divers were incredibly well-organised and left us in the dark about nothing: transparent pricing, scheduling and exceptional communication before during and after. The instructors we dove with demonstrated their wide variety of expertise from a marine biologist leading conservation and citizen scientist dives to a man whose patience and kindly demeanour my wife could not stop complimenting. Whenever we found ourselves lacking equipment like an adaptor or a camera case, they were ready to solve the problem and never inhibit our dive experience. The friendly professionalism and genuine care that we enjoyed every moment of each dive was clear in all that they did. If you plan to dive Phi Phi, dive Blue View!

    Refresher course . Ideal course for experienced dicers who were out for a while

    Refresher was sufficient. No endless reharsels but to the point . A real must for experienced divers who where out for a while …..

    Professional company that catered more to non scuba divers program vs certified diver

    Booked through What’s Ap evening prior and perhaps there was miscommunication . It was great that they accommodate me, but I was partnered with one of those non scuba divers and only went about 20 feet deep. Was taking a refresher as they required me to do so even though I had five 15 months prior with 110 logged dives. Instructor was upbeat and professional. 2nd dive was very poor visibility - water brown and very clouded. Would it dive here again -

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback, Corrine. We're sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations. As your booking was made late in the evening before the dive, during a particularly busy New Year's re-opening period, there appears to have been some misunderstanding regarding the dive plan. As requested, you had initially booked yourself and your husband onto a Refresher Program due to his (mostly) and your time out of the water, and this remained in place after your husband opted not to dive at the last moment before closing. For the first dive, our team conducted a brief skills review and followed a more conservative dive profile, taking into account both the refresher requirements and your upcoming flight schedule. You then joined the certified diver group for the second dive. Unfortunately, visibility at Black Moon and Malong on that day was significantly affected by seasonal plankton blooms. While these conditions can reduce visibility, they are a natural occurrence and can vary considerably from day to day. Malong is a very popular dive site, but it was a bad day for visilbility. We appreciate your positive comments regarding our instructor, equipment and boat. We also reached out privately following your trip to apologise and offer a partial refund for the refresher upgrade, but unfortunately did not receive a response. Guest safety is always our highest priority, and Dive plans are always adapted based on experience, safety considerations, age, fitness and conditions on the day. Thank you again for your feedback, and we wish you all the best in your future diving adventures. – Blue View Management

    Need a refresher? Choose Blue View!

    You have a lot of choices for dive operators on Phi Phi, but after 2 years out of the water, I needed a refresher course and wanted a small group and chill atmosphere. I am really glad I chose Blue View Divers! My guide, Jose put me at ease right away, bringing the right energy and reassurance to the dives. With his guidance, I could relax and truly enjoy the beautiful coral, lobsters, eels, and the biggest puffer fish I've ever seen :) Also a special thanks to Caroline, who I caught just as she was closing up — she took the time to walk me though some options and booked me a last-minute spot, which I was so grateful for! Just a heads-up: at the time of this review, there was an additional 600 THB marine park fee, outside of Blue View Divers' control. Would highly recommend!

    From Phi Phi: Half Day Trip for Certified Divers (2 Dives): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ko Phi Phi Don.

    How much does From Phi Phi: Half Day Trip for Certified Divers (2 Dives) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $88 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ko Phi Phi Don usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does From Phi Phi: Half Day Trip for Certified Divers (2 Dives) take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ko Phi Phi Don is not rushed.

    Is From Phi Phi: Half Day Trip for Certified Divers (2 Dives) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 63 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ko Phi Phi Don, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule From Phi Phi: Half Day Trip for Certified Divers (2 Dives)?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is From Phi Phi: Half Day Trip for Certified Divers (2 Dives) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book From Phi Phi: Half Day Trip for Certified Divers (2 Dives)?

    +

    Around 22 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ko Phi Phi Don can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ko Phi Phi Don and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does From Phi Phi: Half Day Trip for Certified Divers (2 Dives) start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ko Phi Phi Don within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Ko Phi Phi Don?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Ko Phi Phi Don experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Day Trip to James Bond (Canoeing & Kayaking Islands & Lunch), From Phi Phi: Sunrise & Beat The Crowds to Maya Bay by Speedboat, Highlights of Phi Phi Islands. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Ko Phi Phi Don?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Ko Phi Phi Don?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in From Phi Phi: Half Day Trip for Certified Divers (2 Dives)?
