Course overview

Certified divers can explore Thailand's Phi Phi Islands on guided SSI fun dives, cruising the limestone walls, coral gardens and swim-throughs of the marine park with a local guide. Reefs reach around 30 metres and encounters with blacktip reef sharks, turtles and seasonal leopard sharks are frequent, so each dive captures the best of the Andaman Sea. Log it all in your MySSI digital logbook.
