What To Expect
Once you book, reach out and we will send your PADI eLearning course and Open Water Videos. Take time to study on your own schedule (8-12 hrs) before you arrive and complete your course over 2 - 3 days! Check in at our amazing office one day before, just 5 mins outside town in Viewpoint Resort with stunning views of Loh Dalum Bay. Reach out if you wish to start the same day as arriving. We have flexible schedules. Your confined training off the beach is the first step. After mastering your skills, swim tests and theory you will go out on the boat to complete your training dives over 2 days. Each dive trip includes 2 dives with lunch in between and lasts 5 hours. We depart from the main pier after paying National Park fees and drive 20-30 minutes to the Marine Park area of Phi Phi Leh and Bida Islands for your dives. Expect to see amazing marine life, colourful corals with a good chance to see sharks and turtles at our local sites while you train! Enjoy zero waste lunch & fresh pineapple between dives surrounded by stunning scenery. After the second dive of each day we return to shore and log the dives. Schedules are flexible to match ability and requests. Recommend 3 days.

Amazing people and location

5.00Friendly staff, very helpful, very knowledgeable and safety conscious. My instructor Jose was very easy to understand and he spoke 2 languages Spanish and English as well as his own native language. The boat crew were amazing helping me and they also rescued a lone diver who they sucessfully reunited him with his boat.

5.00My husband and I completed our open water PADI course over 3 days with Blue View. We had a fantastic time! The 3 day schedule was very laid back and left lots of time to enjoy the island outside of class. Dive sites weren’t far away which maximized dive time. We had the option of morning or afternoon and Blue View was very flexible with whatever we chose. We had our own instructor for the two of us which was super reassuring as we felt we could go at our own pace and not be rushed to get through safety skills (shout out to Blue who was a 10/10 instructor). If we return to phi phi in the future we 100% will be diving with blue view!
Great diving experience with Blue View Divers on Koh Phi Phi

5.00I had a really great experience at Blue View Divers on Koh Phi Phi. The whole course was super professional, safe and at the same time really fun. My instructors were Michael (master) and Kathleen (trainee), and they were both fantastic. Michael was extremely calm, skilled and good at explaining, which made you feel 100% safe during the entire dive. Kathleen was super engaged, cute and professional, and she made the experience even better with her good mood and focus on safety. Overall, it was super good, and I highly recommend Blue View Divers to anyone who is considering diving on Koh Phi Phi – regardless of level. I would undoubtedly choose them again

5.00Best experience ever, Micheal and Caitlin are very skilled divers, and we were lucky enough to be trained by both of them - Micheal was the instructor and Caitlin under training. We saw a lot of beautiful animals and corals + we felt very safe the hole time - Micheal have a lot of patience so there where plenty of time to get comfortable under water 🫶🏼 Thank you 👏🏻
Excellent

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had such a great experience with Blue View Divers, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about Michael Davey. Michael is an awesome instructor super patient, calm, and really knows his stuff. What I appreciated most is that he genuinely cares about students actually learning, not just getting through the course. He takes the time to explain things properly, checks that you understand, and makes sure you feel comfortable and confident before moving on. You never feel rushed or pressured, and that makes a huge difference, especially when you’re learning new skills underwater. He creates a really safe and supportive environment, where it’s totally okay to ask questions and take your time. If you’re thinking of diving with Blue View Divers, you’re in very good hands and if Michael is your instructor, you’re lucky. Highly recommend 🌊🤿

5.00The Dives were everything and more than I expected such an immersive experience to be able to have and be a part of. I am super happy I persevered with the theory and managed to justify the effort that I put into it. And for the 4 dives to be all so amazingly clear and lucky with what we saw was just super awesome. I just want to say a massive thank you to the whole team and especially Renzo for being so kind, flexible,reassuring, communicative and overall so awesome at what you do it was a pleasure diving through the company here at Koh phi phi. Thank you all 🙏🤿⛴🌊
Must do first dive !
