The Ocean. The least explored, but most exploited part of our Planet. As the global population grows so does the need to use more and more of the ocean’s resources. Truth is, it is not inexhaustible. At current levels we will run out of fish, corals will die, and the ever increasing levels of carbon dioxide caused by the use of fossil fuels has increased the ph level of our seas leading to ocean acidification. This increases the speed of decalcification where corals can no longer form and the loss of coral reef habitats for many marine species. You can see where this is leading.

Responsible Tourism
Take matters into your own hands. It is possible to still be successful while providing a service that avoids and reduces the impact on nature. All businesses need to turn a profit but while sticking to our policies, we have slowly built a business model grown into a 20 year success story.
Sure there are sacrifices to be made. We don’t cater to huge charter groups for a start. We take more time to ensure guests are properly trained and we we invest heavily to ensure that equipment and boats are regularly maintained. But as we see it we are investing in our future.

Artificial Reef
Phi Phi Ley is the location of one of the island’s most exciting dive sites simply known as the Artificial Reef. In July 2006 the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (DMCR) approached The Adventure Club to discuss the idea of constructing an artificial reef that would create a new dive site to attract divers. The concept behind this was based on a DMCR survey that many divers and snorkelers were actually causing unintentional damage by making contact with the reef multiple times on each dive and that by offering an alternate attraction it would provide some respite to the natural coral reef.

Coral Nursery Project
Started in April 2006 the Phi Phi Ley Coral Nursery project has been one of The Adventure Club’s most successful conservation programs. This is the only coral nursery site at the Phi Phi islands and has provided thousands of new coral colonies that have since been transplanted back to the natural reef.
Initiated by the Phuket Marine Biology Center (PMBC), The Adventure Club was assigned to manage and maintain the nursery and since then, the program has evolved and grown into a remarkable success thanks to the aid of hundreds of volunteers.

Viking Transplant Site
Situated very close to the Phi Phi Ley Coral Nursery, this area was the most obvious place to start transplanting corals from the nursery. Firstly we did not need to go far and for another reason this area had numerous areas of standing ‘dead’ acropora corals that would act as the perfect substrate to transfer the new colonies.
It hasn’t been easy. Discovering the best procedures for rehabilitating areas with the corals from our nursery has tested our ingenuity and our resolve.

Laem Jong Transplant Site
In 2015 we started to rehabilitate the Laem Jong site, implementing coral transplantation techniques adapted on our first site at Viking bay.

Covid Lockdown Pier Project
Covid 19 hit everyone hard. Overnight, Phi Phi island’s bustling diving destination became a ghost town. Without much information to go on the work force remaining on the island found themselves stuck on a beautiful island with nothing to do except thumb twiddling.
Suddenly a light bulb went off. Why not make the best of a bad situation? Let’s give the workforce something to take their minds off of the current situation and deal with an issue that had existed for years, but nobody ever had the time or the manpower to do.
