PADI Discover Scuba Diver program lets you experience the thrill of scuba diving under the supervision of one of our PADI instructors without having to go through a full course program. This diving program includes two dives at Phi Phi Island’s best reefs: the Bida islands and Phi Phi Ley Island. Choose from either the morning trip (starts 0700 AM) or the afternoon trip (starts 1300 PM).
