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.

5.00Absolutely Incredible Dive Experience! Blue View Divers on Koh Phi Phi was hands down the best diving experiences I've ever had! From the moment I walked in, the team made me feel so welcome and at ease. The staff are not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but also genuinely passionate about what they do and it shows in every part of the experience. The dive sites were absolutely stunning, with crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and an abundance of marine life. Every dive felt like a new adventure. The instructors were brilliant, patient, friendly, and full of great energy. They took the time to make sure everyone felt comfortable and confident, regardless of skill level. What really sets Blue View Divers apart is the personal touch. You’re not just a customer here you’re part of their dive family. I can’t recommend them enough. If you’re thinking of diving on Koh Phi Phi, this is the shop to go with. Thank you, Blue View, for such an unforgettable experience!

5.00My 12 year old son completed his Padi Open Water Diver with Blue View Divers. Caroline was such a professional, patient and fun instructor. She ensured that he was confident in the pool and then took us on the 4 course dives. She has lived on the island for more than 20 years and so knew the dive sites and where to find the marine life. My son saw black tip reef sharks, turtles (on his wish list) and seahorses (my wish list), The boat was very comfortable and the boat staff so kind, helpful and good fun. The whole experience from booking to certification was super smooth. I would totally recommend Blue View Divers for your courses or your fun dives.
Great diving experience

5.00My girlfriend and I took a PADI Open Water Certificate, We had Renzo as the instructor, he was so amazing, my girlfriend was so terrified, but Renzo was amazing, he calmed her down so many times during these days, think he must have a doctor degree in psychology. We went out in the most amazing places in their diving boat 🛥️ both days we had a great meal and fresh food between the dive🥰 Their shop in the northern end of the city is worth a visit, It is so cosy, and has the most amazing view over the bay. Up there they also has their infinity pool for training😎 If I could choose more than ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I would have done it.

5.00From Fear to Advanced Diver – All Thanks to Blue View Divers and Renzo! I came to Blue View Divers terrified to even put my face in the water, and I left as an Advanced Open Water Diver — and that transformation is entirely thanks to Renzo and the incredible team at Blue View. Renzo was patient, encouraging, and completely in tune with my comfort level from day one. He helped me build confidence step by step, never rushing the process, and always making me feel safe and supported. By the time we finished, I was diving deep, navigating underwater, and loving every second of it! The entire Blue View team is professional, fun, and deeply passionate about diving and conservation. The dive sites were breathtaking, and the instruction was top-notch. If you’re nervous about diving or just want to learn from the best in a supportive, beautiful setting — this is the place. I can't recommend Blue View Divers and Renzo highly enough!

5.00Great diving school! My instructor Renzo was excellent! Thanks to him I felt safe at every step of my training. Very educational and professional I recommend it to all! I took the PADI over only two days it was perfect for the duration of my trip. NB to allow at least 24 hours (one day of rest) before returning to the plane to avoid disturbances related to atmospheric pressure change.
