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.
