Koh Phi Phi - day 97,98,99

We stayed on Koh Phi Phi for another three days because we fell in love with the diving around Koh Phi Phi Ley! We managed to find a cheaper hotel for the rest of our stay; unfortunately it was right next to a nightclub that played very loud music until 2am every night... not the best thing when you have to wake up at 6h30 to go diving! We did 4 dives around Koh Phi Phi; we went to Koh Bida Noi, Koh Bida Nok, Palong North and Maya Corner. The visibility was great and the marine life even better!! We saw a leopard shark, which we got very close to (look at the picture of Pierre next to it!), we saw so many blacktip reef sharks that we lost track of how many we saw! They are very shy sharks, but really beautiful and impressive! We also saw three turtles that we got very close to and an endless number of angelfish, parrotfish, butterflyfish, pufferfish, porcupinefish, etc. We saw a frogfish (very rare!!), a few lionfish (poisonous), lots of moray eels, a few scorpionfish (nearly impossible to see; poisonous as well), a sea horse, fighting trumpetfish and lots more! Diving here exceeded all our expectations! We passed by the beach where "The Beach" (with Leonardo di Caprio) was filmed and were amazed by the number of speedboats that rush to get loads of tourists there. It is a beautiful spot (it's called Maya Bay), but it is also the most crowded place around Koh Phi Phi! When we weren't diving, we were relaxing on the beach or walking through town. The water is incredibly clear and blue; this place really is paradise on earth! We really loved Koh Phi Phi and wouldn't mind to come back!!

Weather: warm and sunny every day!!
