Phi Phi Islands Dive Day from Ao Nang — Two Dives (Sawasdee Divers Krabi)
฿4,300 (about $119) for two dives at Phi Phi, running daily from 1 November to 31 March. Groups are capped at four divers. A non-diving companion travels on the same boat for ฿2,500— that companion line is what shows the price is charged per head. Bring your own kit and the operator takes ฿300 off.
Krabi, Thailand · up to 4 guests · ฿4,300 Per head. The operator prints “2 dives : ฿4,300” directly above “Passenger : ฿2,500” for the same trip — a separate price for a second body on the same boat, which only makes sense per person. The national park fee is extra: ฿600 (about $17) on the first day, ฿200 on the second, and only collected if the rangers come aboard. · EN · FR
Amazing diving centre: very professional and safe — detailed briefing before the dives, well serviced and maintained equipment, friendly and knowledgeable instructors and guides. Delicious refreshments on the boat.
What is this tour like?
A full day out of Ao Nang to Phi Phi with two dives, ฿4,300 (about $119), run daily from 1 November through 31 March. Outside those months Sawasdee Divers asks you to contact them: the crossing is long, and the operator would rather change the destination than push a bad-weather day.
Group size is published, which is unusual and useful: a maximum of four persons per group. Divers must be certified and at least ten years old. What is included is a qualified PADI guide, full equipment, free hotel pickup in the Ao Nang area, lunch and drinking water, and insurance covering divers, snorkellers and passengers.
The price is charged per head, and the operator’s own layout proves it — under the trip price sits a separate “Passenger” rate of ฿2,500 for someone who comes along without diving. Bring your own wetsuit, regulator, BCD, fins and mask and ฿300 comes off. Nitrox is ฿250 to ฿300 a tank depending on which of the operator’s two price blocks you read, and a dive computer is ฿300 for the trip.
The national park entrance fee is not included: ฿600 on the first day and ฿200 on the second. Sawasdee adds a detail most centres leave out — the fee is only paid if the rangers actually come aboard the boat.

“A fantastic dive center where safety is clearly the top priority. My son completed his entire PADI Open Water course here with great success, and the experience exceeded our expectations.”
“Only a couple of days have passed since we got our PADI certification during a short stay in Krabi. We sent enquiries to several local companies, and only Sawasdee Divers Krabi replied. Their representative Christel came to us in person.”
