      Grear experience with teenage daughter dive course
      I brought my 13 year old daughter here to get her OWD certification. I chose Blue View divers out of the gazillion dive shops available in Thailand based on conversations with their instructors at Divex in Bangkok. Great attitude towards safety, thorough training, yet also letting her learn from her mistakes rather than jumping in at every hesitation. Caroline has an amazing attitude towards educating new divers and was instrumental in my decision to go to Koh Phi Phi. Becca was my daughters instructor and was fabulous, enthusiastic and patient in alleviating a nervous dive student, making her comfortable to engage fully in the experience. I will return when my next daughter is able to dive, or just future fun dives.

      Fun dives
      I did a few fun dives with Pu and it was really great! Pu has incredible eyesight and he really sees everything - no flounder, however well camouflaged, had a chance of remaining undetected. We saw stunning underwater worlds, with huge schools of fish, barracudas, porcupine fish, swimming moray eels and even a sea snake and a mantis shrimp, which of course Pu found.

      Blue View Divers and Luck are the best!
      What an amazing time with Blue View Divers! I had the best teacher ever, Luck, who was friendly, patient, kind, and always had a great smile. I learnt so much quicker thanks to having him as a guide. I am very grateful to Blue View Divers for making my time on Koh Phi Phi so special and fun. I recommend everyone to sign up, and you're very lucky if you get to work with Luck!

      Diving Koh phi phi
      O had a great time at both dive side seeing a big variation of fish. The divermaster Pu was great and friendly and really tried to search for as many marine life as possible. He also took some pictures for me what was really nice.

      Top choice for diving around Phi Phi!
      We had an amazing 2 days diving with Blue View Divers around Phi Phi Leh and Bida Islands! Diving from a longtail boat made the trip extra special. We had a delicious lunch between the dives in a beautiful lagoon, and saw sharks and turtles, stingrays, cuttlefish, huge schools of yellow snappers and so much more on our dives. All of the equipment was in very good condition with most of it looking brand new! The staff are all so friendly and helpful, from the moment we contacted them to inquire about diving until the day we were leaving. They made us feel so welcome and went above and beyond to make our trip to Phi Phi a fun and memorable one. My absolute top choice for diving, snorkelling and longtail boat trips around the islands, thank you Blue View Divers, see you next time!

      Amazing dives and fantastic dive instructors!
      I’ve done my PADI specialties in wreck and peak performance buoyancy plus several fun dives with Blue View Divers. Best experience of my life. The team is amazing and very caring for the divers who decide to dive with them. Especially my instructor Caroline was awesome. She was very patient and helped me through the struggles of learning and improving. I feel I did huge steps ahead with her. She was genuinely happy to see my improvements and inspiring to see how, after countless dives, she is as happy and excited to admire the underwater world as it would be the first time. Needless to say that Phi Phi has some outstanding diving spots and it’s a lovely place for a solo vacation to escape from the stress of work. Very relaxed and laid back. I will definitely go back and I thank again to the Blue View crew!

      I saw octopuses, squid swarms, turtles, lots nudis and a leopard shark. The highlight was a hunting barracuda at Night
      The blue view diver crew made the 8 fun dives and 1 night dive unforgettable. Very recommendable. Good equipment, nice dive spots, funny guides, a marine biologist on board for the the back ground informations about the underwater creatures and a lovely aquaman as a captain.

      Diving in Koh Phi Phi
      In March 2024, my husband and I did two days of diving with Blue View Divers. We were visiting Koh Phi Phi for one night, after having been to the island several years ago. As certified divers, you must complete a bit of electronic paperwork before you can dive with this shop. I selected this shop due to their eco awareness and more environmentally-friendly practices. Our first dive day was on a longboat with just 3 divers and our lovely guide Luck. The dive site was very close to the bay - just along some of the cliffs outside of the bay, so the transit time was minimal. We did two easy dives, as the other member of our group was a newer diver. Lunch was served during our surface interval between dives. Please note that in Koh Phi Phi, you must pay a couple fees (at least) - one to enter the island, and if you are diving (not sure about other tours) you must pay a 600 Baht per person fee to enter the marine park. This is paid at a booth at the docks - your guide will take you there. Keep your ticket/receipt as if you dive more, you only pay 200 Baht the next day you enter the marine park! That evening, the shop messaged us asking if we wanted to do a third dive and leave a little bit earlier than originally intended. More diving - of course we couldn't turn that down! We met Luck at the usual area, the bank by the McDonald's, and went to the boat. Today's boat was a shared Big Boat. Blue View Divers had 2 groups, ours and another group. This dive day had an unusual start, but no fault of Blue View Divers at all! We met Luck at 06:30am and were supposed to depart at 06:45. For whatever reason, our groups were on time, but the other groups came in drips and drabs and we had to wait quite awhile before the boat actually left. Maybe 20 minutes, probably even more. Our first dive site was to be Garang Heng. Please note that the dive sites are quite close to Koh Phi Phi, so transit time is pleasant. All the diving groups were kitted up and ready to enter... but the captain couldn't locate the dive site! Again, no fault of Blue View Divers as this was another Dive Shop's boat. We probably sat around for at least 45 minutes; it was then deemed to go to another dive site, Hin Bida (which is my favorite in this area - Hin Bida and Bida Nok). Finally we got in and the diving was really beautiful. On the first dive we saw Black Tip Reef Sharks, Squid, Cuttle Fish, smaller Barracuda, a Blue Spotted Ray, Morray Eels, a turtle and all the reef fish - mostly everything you can see in the shallows! We had an optional third dive, which of course we did! Lunch was served between the second and third dives, with our picnic-style lunch as we were separate from the boat's clients. Luck was kind and picked up some Thai sweets so we could all try the local cuisine! The dive shop is at the other end of Koh Phi Phi town, so it could take you maybe 20 minutes to walk there, just an FYI. We walked to the shop on our first day to make a cash payment and make sure that everything was in order. Our guide was great, although the other guide (I'm not sure of the name) with Blue View was perhaps having a bad day as she wasn't as cheerful and upbeat as you would expect. Luck was a great guide and will grow into his career as a dive professional!

      Loved every minute, an incredible experience!
      I recently completed my PADI Open Water and Advanced Open Water courses with Blue View Divers and couldn't be happier. When booking from home Caroline was very quick to respond to all enquiries and very informative. Becca was my instructor for all the dives and she was great in every way; professional, friendly and always safety concious. The dive sites were unreal, every time guaranteed to see amazing marine life including black tip sharks and turtles. Throughout the 5 days of diving Caroline was always in touch, checking everything was ok and confirming meeting times the following day. They were also incredibly accommodating and flexible when my partner got food poisoning, going above and beyond to make sure she could complete her course once she had recovered. One of the best things I've done in my life and I'm very happy I did it with Blue View, I can't wait to go back!

      Amazing Experience 10/10
      I completed my PADI Open Water Course with Blue View Divers and honestly had the best time ever! 10/10!! When I arrived to check in at the shop I wasn’t feeling very well, but Caroline was absolutely brilliant as she adjusted my schedule to give me time to get better but also ensure I could complete the course before I left the island. She was brilliant! My instructor Blue was absolutely amazing! It felt like diving and learning with a friend. She made me feel so comfortable and went through everything so methodically, making sure I understood and completed every skill required. She made the 4 ocean dives so much fun! We saw so much sea life including sharks! And finally a huge shoutout to Tibo who came on my last 2 dives to take photos and videos for me. He was great! And the footage he captured was stunning! Overall, if you go with Blue View Divers you will NOT be disappointed! I can guarantee you will have the best time ever!! I will definitely go with them again if I’m ever lucky enough to be in Phi Phi again.

    My wife and I had an amazing time doing our Discover Scuba Diving session with Blue View Divers! Could not recommend the place enough for new and experienced divers 😄

    This was our first ever diving experience and the team of Caroline, Becca & Mattia made us feel right at home. We got to see tons of marine life amongst the beautiful coral reefs of Koh Phi Phi.

    We also followed it up with a private longtail boat tour for snorkeling. Shoutout to Mattia again for guiding us through our snorkel session!

    Amazing experience. Our instructors - Ille, Gorgie & Blue were amazing! The pool training was very helpful for non swimmers and first timers. Only sad part was that the longtail boat felt a bit congested for 7people onboard. But overall, it was an amazing experience!

    I have dived several times and without a doubt this has been the best. they gave me a very good feeling since the beginning, all the staff at the diving school are very friendly. They resolved all my doubts, very kindly and responded very quickly to the wassup. They have everything perfectly organized.

    My guide was Luck, who conveyed a lot of serenity and improved the already wonderful experience of diving in Phi Phi. He knows perfectly the diving areas he is looking for and shows you the best things to see on the dives. I hadn't dived many times and I felt super calm the entire time with him. He also took videos and photos of me diving and sent them to me right away. He made me very happy to receive them

    100% recommended site and Luck is a 5-star guide!
