Whaleshark Wall
This site is described as a wall on the south side of the Maya Bay entrance on Phi Phi Leh, reaching about 24 m. Leopard sharks and a spotted eagle ray have been seen, while hawksbill turtles and blacktip reef sharks patrol the shallows among soft corals, snappers and nudibranchs. Current can affect the dive, so it is recommended for certified divers only.
