5Excellent diving school
This diving school was brilliant, my instructor, Daow, made sure I was comfortable throughout. Communication was clear, and the format of the course was perfect. All of the instructors and staff at the shop and on the boat were friendly and supportive.
5Fantastic experience!
We were traveling in Thailand with our three kids who wanted to get certified and Blue View was incredibly accommodating and professional at tailoring a perfect experience for us despite a lot of moving parts on our end. The instructors Becca and Daow were amazing with our tween kids, mixing the intensive learning with fun, all with a great child-tailored approach. All of the interactions were smooth and logistics were seamless — the boat was comfortable and the food on board was great! Not to mention what a beautiful place Phi Phi is! My youngest got to dive on his 10th birthday for the first time on a discover scuba before getting certified as PADI Scuba Diver the following day and got to see a BABY SHARK on his birthday!! The team worked hard to make his birthday such a special day and we opted to have great photos and video taken of us that day, as well. Highly recommend Blue View to folks looking to dive in the region!
5Amazing all round
Amazing experience, I had only dived once before the open water course, I loved every second and learnt so much. Daow is a great teacher and person, would highly recommend to anyone interested in diving/ water activities.
5Fantastic experience and a leopard shark!
Did the 2 day Open Water course with my wife. We had Michael as our instructor and he was fantastic. Very safe and learned a lot while getting to see amazing stuff, including a leopard shark! Thank you Michael and Blue View Divers, we will not forget this experience and we are hooked.
5Do this course!
The Open Water course with Michael was amazing!! A professional, informative and overall extremely enjoyable experience first time scuba diving. I left feeling confident I can safely dive and excited for more. Lots of beautiful coral and aquatic life including a leopard shark on our last dive! 150% recommend this course!
5Best dive shop on Phi Phi; great instructors for PADI courses
Blue View Divers is the best shop I’ve dived with over my 33 years as a PADI open water diver. They are incredibly safe and diligent and their teaching is amazing. My son was certified here as a junior open water diver and he had a terrific experience. Jose was his instructor and was amazing, and the other instructors we observed on the boat were also wonderful. I can see why Blue View gets all the five star reviews- it’s very well deserved.

About Ko Phi Phi Don
Ko Phi Phi Don is the main island of the Phi Phi group in the Andaman Sea, with limestone cliffs, two curved bays and clear green water.
Ko Phi Phi Don is the larger of two main islands in the Phi Phi group, off the coast of Krabi province in southern Thailand. Its two bays, Ton Sai and Loh Dalum, curve back to back on either side of a narrow sandy isthmus, with limestone cliffs climbing behind. There are almost no motor vehicles on the island, only footpaths and boats, and the village around the pier is a tight cluster of guesthouses, cafés and dive shops.
