Maya Wall, located at Phi Phi Lee Island in Koh Phi Phi, offers an exciting drift dive along a dramatic underwater cliff formation in Thailand’s Andaman Sea. This popular site features a stunning vertical wall descending to depths of 30-40 meters, making it suitable for intermediate to advanced divers.

Divers experience a spectacular marine environment with vibrant coral formations and abundant fish species including fusiliers, snappers, and groupers. The site is known for sightings of reef sharks, barracuda, and occasionally larger pelagic species. The wall’s diverse topography includes caves and overhangs that attract smaller creatures like lionfish and nudibranchs.

The drift dive conditions make Maya Wall particularly rewarding, with strong currents carrying divers along the wall’s length. Excellent visibility typically ranges from 15-25 meters, depending on seasonal conditions. The site’s proximity to Phi Phi Lee’s pristine waters ensures rich biodiversity and healthy coral ecosystems.

Maya Wall is ideal for divers seeking an exhilarating wall dive with excellent marine life encounters in Thailand’s premier diving destination.
