    Amazing experience !!

    This experience was unforgettable as my first time scuba diving. My instructor was very thorough and explained everything easily so I got it straight away. I felt safe and cared for. There was a lot of waiting around in the beginning however but as soon as I got onto the boat, it was easily forgotten about because it was so beautiful. I did think I was going privately for the whole thing, but the private tour meant that once we were swimming around in the water I had my own guide, so I had to share the boat and my lunch with other divers, which I didn’t mind because they were all friendly. All in all, brilliant first time scuba diving and would do it again! x

    Best of the best

    Came here purely to dive , it was out of season and I knew this before I left but the guys paco and pang bent over backwards to get me out as much as possible , the professionalism and knowledge were second to none and steered the diving so I could find what I wanted ( nudibranch) some of the best diving I’ve done and the guys on the boat couldn’t do enough , loved it so much I’m looking at January , I’d recommend these guys everytime wether you want to learn or a pro

    Private Half-Day Scuba Diving with expert (1Dive): questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Half-Day Scuba Diving with expert (1Dive) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $210 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 Private Half-Day Scuba Diving with expert (1Dive) take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Private Half-Day Scuba Diving with expert (1Dive) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 39 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2 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 Private Half-Day Scuba Diving with expert (1Dive)?

    +

    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 Private Half-Day Scuba Diving with expert (1Dive) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Half-Day Scuba Diving with expert (1Dive)?

    +

    Around 1 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Half-Day Scuba Diving with expert (1Dive) 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 Private Half-Day Scuba Diving with expert (1Dive)?

    +

    Included: Carbonated beverages; Bottled water; Use of SCUBA equipment; Snacks; and Lunch. Not included: National Park Fee Adult 200THB, Child 5-14 Years old 100THB, 0-4 Free. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Half-Day Scuba Diving with expert (1Dive) include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1 listed pickup location in and around Ko Phi Phi Don. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Private Half-Day Scuba Diving with expert (1Dive) offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Half-Day Scuba Diving with expert (1Dive)?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Private Half-Day Scuba Diving with expert (1Dive) wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
