It is possible to dive in Phi Phi Islands all year round, however in the south of Andaman Sea, where lies the archipelago, the best conditions to diving exist from November to April, when the surface conditions are generally calm. Visibility during this period can easily reach over 25 metres and the water temperature is between 28°C and 31° C. From late May to October, the monsoon winds swell the surface of the Andaman Sea reducing the visibility of more than 30% making the offshore sites inaccessible for long periods.
