Scuba Diving in Phi Phi Island with Sea Bees
Everything you need to know about diving from Phi Phi Island
All of our dive trips in Phi Phi depart directly from SAii Phi Phi Island Village Resort aboard our very own boat, the MV Sai, conveniently located on the tranquil northern side of the island in the Lo Bakao and Laem Tong area of the island.
If you’re staying outside SAii Resort, you are more than welcome to join us for your dives — we’ll be happy to assist you in arranging your transfer to the resort before departure. Upon arrival at our dive centre, our friendly Thai and European team will welcome you and help you try on your dive equipment to ensure everything fits comfortably and perfectly for your underwater adventure.

How we dive at Sea Bees
At Sea Bees, we focus on safety, comfort, and small groups — with a maximum of four divers per instructor or divemaster. This ensures personal attention and plenty of space underwater.
During your surface interval, you’ll have time to enjoy snacks, drinks, and the stunning views of the surrounding islands before we continue to the second dive site.
After two incredible dives around Phi Phi’s famous limestone reefs and coral gardens — home to blacktip reef sharks, turtles, and a kaleidoscope of tropical fish — we return to SAii Resort in the early afternoon.
Back on land, you can rinse your gear, relax by the beach, and share stories of your underwater adventures with our dive team.
