Oh -- you should have said that earlier. In July, it will definitely be choppier out at sea (Phi Phi is not very sheltered) and visibility will also be poorer. Again, east coast Thailand/Malaysia would be better.

I'm surprised you're considering Bali as an alternative though, because the diving there is generally not that great. Lombok or Manado, on the other hand...
