Princess Divers - Scuba Diving Phi Phi Island
Operating out of Phi Phi Island in Krabi, Princess Divers runs scuba certification courses and guided fun dives in some of Thailand's most celebrated coastal waters. The surrounding reefs are known for healthy coral, strong marine biodiversity, and reliable visibility, giving divers a genuine chance to encounter varied sea life even on a single dive. The operation functions as both a tour agency and dive school, catering to complete beginners working toward their Open Water certification as well as certified divers looking to explore the area's underwater terrain with a knowledgeable guide. Instructors are consistently highlighted in visitor accounts for their attentiveness and ability to put nervous first-timers at ease, which speaks to the teaching environment on offer. Group sizes are kept manageable, allowing instructors to give individual attention throughout briefings, equipment checks, and the dives themselves. The team is experienced across the local dive sites and can match the experience to a diver's comfort level and interests. Diving is possible year-round, but the dry season from November to April brings the calmest conditions and clearest visibility, making it the most popular period to visit. Booking ahead is advisable during these peak months. Those taking a certification course should factor in multiple days, as the Open Water course involves both pool or shallow-water sessions and open-water dives. Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a rash guard for sun protection during surface intervals.

Visitor Reviews
I had an amazing experience with Princess Divers in Phi Phi. I completed my open water course in Koh Tao about a week before, and when I arrived in Phi Phi I decided to do two fun dives with them and it couldn’t have gone better. Our instructor, Kerstin, was absolutely fantastic. She was extremely professional and helped us with everything from start to finish. The dives were truly beautiful, we saw stunning corals, lots of fish (Nemos!) and even sharks. Everything was well organized, safe and enjoyable, and the whole team made us feel comfortable and welcome. I would 100% recommend Princess Divers to anyone who wants to do any kind of diving in Phi Phi, whether you’re a beginner or already certified. An unforgettable experience!
I've been lucky enough to dive in several places and I can confidently say that Princess Divers lives up to the high-quality diving offered by the Phi Phi Islands. In just one dive, I saw everything! Octopuses, squid, a clownfish, several blacktip reef sharks, moray eels, pufferfish, lionfish, a scorpionfish, lobsters, a seahorse, schools of thousands of fish, and so much more! The food they offer on the boat is amazing and the staff is super professional. I highly recommend them, both for beginners and certified divers. Surely a must to do in Phi Phi islands!
Thanks to the Princess Divers Team. Diving is fun, but it also comes with great responsibility for both the diver and the assigned dive instructor. In my case, Eze. He was friendly, always helpful, listened to me in every situation, and took the time for me and my Open Water certification. I really enjoyed the dives and I'm looking forward to diving with you again sometime. Best regards, Lennart Homann
Tips for Visiting Activities & Tours
Vet Elephant Sanctuaries
Only visit sanctuaries that prohibit riding, use no chains or bullhooks, and let elephants roam freely. Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai set the standard. If a place offers painting shows or circus tricks, walk away.
Book Through Klook or GetYourGuide
These platforms offer instant confirmation, free cancellation on most activities, and prices that are often lower than walk-up rates. Compare with local agencies for multi-day trips where negotiation might save more.
Do Outdoor Activities in the Morning
Heat and humidity peak from noon to 3 PM. Schedule jungle treks, cycling tours, and outdoor cooking classes for early morning. Water activities are more flexible since you're in and out of the sea.
