Scuba Diving In Pattaya
Pattaya Scuba Dive Centers A-Z Dive Jobs in Pattaya?
Judging merely from the rather poor water quality at Pattaya's main beaches, you can easily get a misleading impression of the hidden marine beauty the Gulf of Thailand has on offer for divers. Indeed, only a few miles offshore the tourism-spoilt coastline of Pattaya, the Eastern seaboard's coastal waters turn out to be a real "mekka" for scuba diving enthusiasts.
Pattaya's shallow waters are home to a variety of maritime life forms - including colourful tropical fish such as large rays and barracudas, sea turtles, spectacular coral reef, and sharks of the gigantic yet harmless whale shark species - and provide numerous scenic diving sites in close proximity to Pattaya bay.
Pattaya's most popular dive sites include the nearby islands of Koh Larn (Coral Island), Koh Sak and Koh Khrok (often referred to as the "Near Islands") and archipelagos of small tropical islands around Koh Phai (the so-called "Far Islands"). Further down south, off the coast of Sattahip, the Koh Samae San chain of islands provides some of the best diving sites at the Eastern seaboard both for recreational and educational diving.
Additional underwater attractions and a real incentive for more experienced divers are the several shipwrecks found on the ground of Pattaya's shallow waters, e.g. the "HTMS Khram", "Petchburi Bremen" or the "Hardeep" that have become artificial homes to coral and other forms of maritime life.
Visibility at all different dive sites ranges from 5 to 15 metres. It's at its best during the months of November through May, but is more than adequate for most dives and training for the entire year. Indeed, the Eastern seaboard region - with Chonburi (Pattaya), Rayong (Koh Samet), Chantaburi and Trat (Koh Chang) provinces - boasts a 365-dive-day season.
With over thirty dive sites all reachable by day trip, Pattaya makes for a great training and sports diving destination.
Pattaya and Jomtien have a dozen and more scuba dive centers that all offer a variety of courses and excursions to the most popular dive sites in the Pattaya area.
Unless you've got experienced diver friends, who have used the services of one of them before and can give you recommendations, you might find it hard to make the right choice and find a dive centre that is most suitable for your individual requirements. Aspects you should take into consideration include the prices for dive trips and individual training programs, but also the value you get for your money, i.e. the standards of their training facilities and equipment, the quality and speed of their dive boat, qualifications of their instructors, or what training material/manuals they provide for certification courses etc. If you are not a native English speaker, a scuba dive instructor who can speak your language, could also be of great additional value.
All listed dive schools provide a variety of courses for beginners and ambitious diving enthusiasts. Training programs range from basic instruction courses, various advanced certification courses to programs that earn you Master Scuba Diver and Instructor qualifications. For more details on dive programs and rates, please contact them or visit their websites.
