Maya Wall
Maya Corner (Maya Wall) runs along the north wall near the entrance of the famous Maya Bay on Phi Phi Leh. Pinnacles, valleys and swim-throughs lead down to dramatic rock formations at the base of the reef, where glassfish shelter among soft corals and sea fans. Hawksbill turtles and blacktip reef sharks are regular, and a whale shark has been recorded here. Most of the site is calm, and it is dived as a scenic, easy dive for all levels.
