Krabi's close proximity to Phuket, about 45km west, brings it within close range of one of the top 10 diving destinations in the world. Though not of the standard of diving available in Phuket, Krabi has much to offer, with a wide range of diving possibilities that is sometimes simply fantastic.
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 and enticing 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 multitude of dive shops around Krabi year-round, with late-October to mid-May being peak season. Snorkeling and diving equipment is easily acquired at most places. A number of first-rate Dive Shops offer affordable scuba accreditation all the way from absolute beginner up to master instructor.
