We were lucky enough to see Leopard Sharks and Black Tip Reef Sharks on both dives – the Liquid Lense team were loving all the shark action, and were a very happy bunch!

Ko Phi Phi is located about 22 km west of Ko Lanta and the rugged limestone cliffs plunging into aquamarine waters make Phi Phi an unforgettable destination. Underwater, the scenery only becomes more breathtaking.

With long caves, dramatic overhangs, walls that go down to 30 m and a fabulous display of hard and soft coral, the diving around Phi Phi is varied and spectacular.

From an underwater photography perspective, Ko Phi Phi dive sites – especially the Bidah Islands, are a photographer’s or videographer’s paradise! So much can be found in such a small area, from macro delights, such as tiny Juvenile Harliquin Sweetlips dancing in the corals, to Seahorses, Pipefish, Shrimp, White-Eyed Morays and Ribbon Eels.

The islands are also home to lots of resident Hawksbill Turtles who can be seen on all the dive sites around Phi Phi, especially on the north side of Phi Phi Lay.

The dive sites at Ko Phi Phi also provide an excellent chance to photograph larger fish such as Black-Tip Reef Sharks and Leopard Sharks.

These docile, nocturnal creatures are normally found lying on the sand facing into the current; they are one of only four species of shark that doesn’t need to keep swimming in order to breathe. They like to eat crustaceans, small fish and sea snakes.

Surprisingly little else is known about the species, although they are believed to be closely related to the Whale Shark. They can grow up to 3.5 meters and are completely harmless to humans.

The Leopard Sharks at Phi Phi will let you get quite close, so long as you dont rush in and spook them. Take your time, approach them slowly and come away with some fantastic pictures to make you proud!

World-famous dive site Hin Muang, lies just a few hundred metres to the west of Hin Daeng out in the Andaman Sea. This sea mount is entirely underwater with the reef starting at about 12 metres and plummeting down to a dizzying 70 metres.

Hin Muang owes its name, meaning purple rock, to the numerous purple soft corals covering the shallower parts of the reef. A constant battle is waged here between the smaller residents of the reef and pelagic hunters such as Mackeral, Trevally, Rainbow Runners & Tuna who lurk around the reef waiting to pounce on their next meal.

This is also the best site in the area for spotting Manta Rays and Whalesharks which frequently grace these undersea mounts.

Hin Muang or ‘Purple Rock’ – is known as the Lanta Manta Cleaning Station and Whale Shark Navigation Point. Located 70km south of Ko Lanta, it boasts good visibility, unless the waters become extremely plankton-rich. It is this plankton that attracts the larger marine-life and there is a high chance of seeing Manta Rays and passing Whalesharks throughout the season.

Hin Muang is completely submerged and derives its name from the vast number of purple corals covering the pinnacle.

Hin Daeng is home to a resident school of Batfish which greet divers on their descent, schools of huge Barracuda, and constant show of pelagic action to keep divers enthralled. If you can take your eyes off the show, there are many macro delights to be found, such as shrimps, porcelain crabs and even ghost pipefish, but don’t spend too long without a glance to the blue in case you miss a Manta Ray or even a passing Whaleshark who regularly visit this area.

Cruising into the picture perfect lagoon of Ko Haa is a treat for novice and experienced divers alike with its white sandy beach, stunning karst islands & crystal clear waters.

Due to its shallow waters and calm conditions, top dive-site ‘Ko Haa Lagoon‘ is a photographers dream and is one of the best sites in the area for finding macro delights such as Ornate Ghost Pipefish & Harlequin Shrimps.

The bright sandy bottom of the Lagoon is full of surprises. The suns reflection on the waters surface is mirrored on sand, creating fascinating patterns. Swimming around this shallow area, you can find some weird and wonderful creatures.

The natural light which floods into the Lagoon creates the perfect backdrop for making beautiful pictures, casting shadows and highlighting the vibrancy of the underwater world.

Ko Haa Yai is the biggest of the five islands that make up Ko Haa and is one of the most spectacular.

It is most famous for the enormous caves know as ‘The Cathedral‘ – two huge underwater caverns that it is possible to surface in & swim between – that are always a delight for visiting divers.

It is also an excellent dive-spot to see Hawksbill Turtles feasting on Bubble Coral and has a series of stunning underwater pinnacles carpeted in soft corals and a myriad of marine life from shrimps & crabs to Giant Morays, Trumpetfish, Flutemouths & many more colourful reef species.
