Koh Bida Nok is the sister dive site of Koh Bida Nai located 2 km south of Koh Phi Phi Ley. It is regarded as one of the best diving spots of Koh Phi Phi. The Marine life is teeming and you can spot various Sharks like Blacktip, Leopard Sharks, Nurse Sharks as well as turltes and Moray Eels. It is not rare to also see a banded sea snake. From December to February, It is sometimes possible to spot a Manta ray or even a whale shark if you are very lucky! The wall is covered by superb Sea Fans dancing in the current. The maximum depth is 33 meters deep and the current can be strong, so this site is more suitable for advanced divers. The spot is also called “Outer Father”. As it is an excellent dive site it often visited by Liveaboards from Phuket or Khao Lak.

This is a Cave diving spot, make sure you have all required certifications. This location is a Reef. This is great place for spotting and diving with Sharks! Ready to swim around this Wall structure?

You can dive Koh Bida Nok all year long. Access: from the Shore. See the map of Koh Bida Nok on the right for the exact location.
