Hi,
I did mine at Moskito and loved it. They were very professional and thorough. There's lots of opportunity to work with different instructors and they have the best boats on the island by far. They are small enough that everyone isn't run ragged but busy enough for you to get a lot of experience. A lot of other shop run cattleboats.
Some of the instructors are very experienced while others are newly certified but all quite good.
That said, they do most of their dives on Bida Nai and Bida Nok and Phi Phi Leh. The former is where "The Beach" was filmed in case you didn't know. These are great divesites but I didn't get to dive the Kingcruiser wreck once while I did my training. I had to go with another outfit to get to dive it. There are some amazing reefs out that way as well.
I loved my experience. It was very intimate and I would definitely go back to Mokito again. I was disappointed at not getting to dive those sites as part of my training. Moskito sticks to the same divesites. Most of the others do to but at least they have go to the wreck on occaison.
One more thing, Phi Phi is very commercial so be prepared for that. It's also the most expensive place I visited in Thailand. I was there for 5 weeks and even with a long term accom discount, I paid a lot of money. The diving is good enough that I overlooked teh commercialism. I wasnt' there to see culture, I was there to dive and the diving is great. You'll see leapord sharks and black tips quite often.
Any more questions, feel free to pm me.

hey Jive turkey
I use to work at Moskito - when did you leave ?
Yuo are right about the shop - I thought it was the best outfit on the island - not without fault but certainly the best
cheers
