About this tour
When Noah from our BugBitten team booked this three-dive package in the Phi Phi Islands, he found a solid day out for certified divers who want to clock multiple sites without mucking about. You get two dives around Phi Phi itself plus a third at either Shark Point or Koh Doc Mai, all wrapped up in about ten hours with meals and gear thrown in. The boat's spacious, the crew knows their stuff, and transfers from the main beach towns are sorted. It's the kind of outing that works best if you've logged a few dives already and aren't after luxury—just straightforward water time with competent guides.
Highlights
- Three solid dive sessions, two at Phi Phi plus Shark Point or Koh Doc Mai
- Meals and snacks onboard; dietary requirements handled (vegan, gluten-free, etc.)
- Full equipment provided — no need to lug your own kit
- Return transfers from Kamala, Patong, Karon, Kata, Rawai, Nai Harn, Chalong included
- Small-group feel with patient, experienced instructors
- Comprehensive diving insurance baked into the price
- Up to 50 minutes per dive — proper time underwater, not rushed
- Works for all fitness levels if you're medically cleared
What to expect
Noah rocked up early for transfers from one of the main beach towns — getting picked up and dropped back is hassle-free. The boat ride out feels long but gives you time to kit up and chat with other divers. Once in the water, you're looking at genuine exploration rather than a speedy in-and-out; 50 minutes per dive means you can actually track the reef and spot things. The crew brief you clearly, and guides stay attentive without being overbearing.
Between dives there's breakfast, lunch, snacks, and cold drinks — nothing fancy but properly filling. The boat's roomy enough that you're not packed like sardines. Weather can be variable (it's the tropics), and sea conditions dictate which third site you hit. By hour ten you're back on the beach fairly knackered but satisfied. The whole rhythm favours divers who want multiple dives in one day without getting exhausted by poor logistics.

Good to know
This hits the sweet spot for certified divers wanting a proper day trip with multiple dives, solid food, and zero faffing with transfers or hiring equipment separately. It suits people who don't have their own gear or who'd rather travel light. Insurance included is a real plus. Instructors are patient and adaptable, so if you're a bit rusty or nervous, they won't rush you.
You need to be medically cleared — there's a long list of conditions (heart issues, lung problems, high blood pressure, recent surgery, ear troubles, epilepsy, diabetes, etc.) that rule you out. Pregnant travellers and those with spinal injuries shouldn't book. The disclaimer mentions not flying within 18 hours of your last dive (24 hours ideally), so plan your trips accordingly. Pick-ups are only from certain beach towns; outside that, private transfers cost extra. Underwater photos aren't included (optional add-on). No alcohol for 8 hours before diving. The boat's a working vessel, not a luxury catamaran. Sea conditions can vary, which might affect your third-dive location.
Sunscreen, a rash guard or light cover-up, towel, and any personal medications. Breakfast and lunch are covered; soft drinks included but no booze. Full scuba kit is provided. Groups stay small, which is good for attention but means fewer people to share stories with.
