Diving Phi-Phi 2004
Diving Koh Phi-Phi, Thailand Nov-Dec 2004. Filmed when I worked as a Dive Instructor at Sea Frog. The stay was aborted by the tsunami. Phi-Phi dive sites: - Marine park: Typically we go out to the Bidah Islands and to the sites around Maya Bay (THE Beach), but we also have various other alternatives. Bidah is two small islands (Bidah Nok / Bidah Nai) that we swim around and almost always see leopard sharks, schools of squid and tons of other reef fish. Around Maya Bay we have some nice swimthroughs, lion fish, titan triggerfish, turtles and black tip reef shark. - King Cruiser Wreck / Phuket Shark Point / Anemone Reef: The King Cruiser is a 85m long car ferry that sank in May 1997 after crashing into the only rock between Phuket and Phi-Phi (Anemone Reef). Before you could penetrate the wreck through the car deck, but the roof has now collapsed several places. The wreck has a special atmosphere (like a ghost town) and lots of big lionfish, scorpion fish and other reef fish. - Hin Daeng / Hin Muang: This is THE site to see big fish! The sites are beautiful submerged pinnacles, 70 km from Phi-Phi, where we usually see mantas, giant morays, great barracudas and sharks. This is also the site with the most frequent whale shark encounters. Even without the big fish this is a excellent site in every way. www.helgeroe.com
