About this site

Palong Wall sits off Phi Phi Lee, the smaller of the two Phi Phi islands in Krabi province, along Thailand's Andaman coast. Dive boats reach it on trips out of Phi Phi Don or Krabi, exploring the limestone wall that runs along Phi Phi Lee's enclosed bays. It is a beginner dive to around 18 metres, with light current and good visibility over the wall itself. Zebra sharks are a regular sight here, and divers have also reported angelfish, butterflyfish, frogfish, nudibranchs, octopus, parrotfish, reef sharks, rhinopias, seahorses, and surgeonfish along the wall.
