Cave Diving in Phi Phi and Khao Sok

[looka]

Hello,

I'm looking to expore the caves in Phi Phi island and (potentially) Khao Sok. I will be based in Phuket and I am looking to arrange an overnight trip to Phi Phi and one overnight trip to Khao Sok.

I am not on one island at the moment and, frankly, I am struggling to find someone to guide me to the caves (I am on my own and I don't know where they are, so I would need a guide). All I could find so far is a tech dive center that asked for USD 1,000 for 4 cave dives on Phi phi and USD 1,000 for 4 dives in Khao Sok. Total USD 2,000.
I understand some logistics are involved, but I am not willing to pay USD 2,000 for 4 days of diving, simply I cannot afford to.

Can anyone reccommend a local cave guide?
Are the caves any good?
How much should I expect to pay for the dives? (I own all my own equipement and I am cave certified)

Thank you very much,
Luca

Try Blue Label Diving. I believe they do exactly what you are looking for, though I would assume it wouldn't be cheap since they'd most likely run the trips just for you.

Phil Phelan at Hippo Divers on Phi Phi should be able to sort you out. I dived the caves there with him. Try Ben at Blue Label Diving for Khao Sok
