Phi Phi Whaleshark sighting in July

The Phi Phi Islands are not especially known for their whaleshark sightings, but they are world-famous for their dive sites. Still, the yearly migration up the coast from Malaysia to the Similans and further north form their has Phi Phi on their route.

As Danny Pilling wrote in Thien's Dive Logbook about his sighting of a whaleshark today at Koh Bida Nok near Phi Phi Ley:

Awsome dive, bad viz from lots of plankton and quite strong currents, sound bad?? NOT FOR WHALE SHARK ENCOUNTERS!! Perfect conditions and hey presto, there she was. Encountered in the first 10 minutes of the dive, then after we returned to the boat, she decided to come check us out, thus rewarding us with 10-15 minute snorkel swim encounter. Awsome!! Low Season just got better!!!
