Dive Koh Phi Phi with Leisure Dive Center, Laemtong beach

Leisure Dive Center is a PADI Dive Center offering beginner experiences, fun dives for certified divers, and training courses that take you from your first steps all the way up to Rescue, EFR, and Divemaster (under request).

We are based in Laemtong, a quiet beach on Phi Phi Island just 30 minutes by boat from Tonsai, with daily connections from Phuket, Krabi, and Tonsai. Surrounded by beachfront resorts such as Erawan Palm, Holiday Inn, Phi Phi Natural, and Outrigger, Laemtong offers a peaceful environment where guests enjoy the comfort of staying right on the beach and the relaxed atmosphere that makes every dive day feel easy and enjoyable.

Our international team of PADI instructors focuses entirely on your diving experience. We work together with the PP Erawan restaurant, where we enjoy our meals, supported by a wonderful team of cooks and staff who help make each day feel warm, friendly, and part of the Laemtong beachfront lifestyle.

We run daily trips in the morning and afternoon, usually two tanks in the morning and one in the afternoon depending on the season. Private trips are also available, as our schedule is flexible.

Welcome to Leisure Dive Center! We are a small and friendly PADI dive center located on Laemtong beach, north Phi Phi Island. Rated as one of the beautiful islands in the world, Koh Phi Phi is a 2 hour ferry ride from Phuket and Krabi.

Situated away from the busy Tonsai bay you can learn to scuba dive in paradise and visit some of the best dive sites in Thailand on our daily half day trips, then relax in the evenings on the most peaceful beach on Phi Phi. Leisure Dive Center is an independent PADI registered dive shop (R-36221) located on Laemtong Beach, North Koh Phi Phi. We have 4 resorts all within 5 minutes walk along the beach front from our dive shop: Holiday Inn, Erawan Palms and Phi Phi Natural. We offer scuba diving trips for all experience levels around the local marine park and further sites in the Andaman sea region.

Which exposure suit?

The sea temperature on Phi Phi island is a comfortable 27-29 degrees celsius year-round. We provide 3mm short-sleeved neoprene wetsuits to our divers, although some prefer to simply dive in shorts and a rash guard vest. If you are bringing your own equipment with you, we would suggest a 3mm short or long neoprene exposure suit.

Getting to Laemtong beach, Phi Phi Island

Laemtong is on the north end of Phi Phi island, facing Bamboo and Mosquito islands. The most common way of getting to Phi Phi is by ferry, with routes from Phuket, Krabi, Railay, Ao Nang and Koh Lanta operating daily (schedule changes between high season and low season). All ferries stop at the main pier in Tonsai (Phi Phi's main town). However Andaman Wavemaster make a second stop at Laemtong beach after dropping people oﬀ in Tonsai, making it the most convenient option for those coming from Phuket or Krabi area and staying at Holiday Inn, Outrigger, Natural or Erawan Palms. If you are arriving from another location other than Phuket or Krabi, you have 2 choices to get to Laemtong when you arrive to the pier of Tonsai in Phi Phi : either a private longtail or the Andaman Wavemaster transfer boat.
