    Mermaids s the only PADI 5 Star dive centre in Pattaya. Every day, you have the choice of regular dive sites or wreck diving.

    The diving in and around Pattaya isn't brilliant due to the low visibility. Apart from that, if you chose Mermaids, everything else is first class.

    As well as recreational diving, they offer training and equipment repairs. All services and prices are on their website.

    If you are diving in Pattaya, you should definitely consider Mermaids.

    I can't comment about their rental gear as I took my own but if it's to the same standard of everything else in Mermaids, then there will be no problems renting from them.

    The diving in Thailand is spectacular.
    Warm water, great visibility, and a large variety of things to see.

    Rent from Siam Divers. Great instructors and rates, a good place to take your Openwater and learn what you are doing.

    We spent a very interesting and enjoyable day on 75 foot (23 meter) luxury boat touring, fishing and swimming around the beautiful islands of the Pattaya coast.
    Why it was so special was because the boat was so clean and well run up to European standards, we found the crew to be very knowledgeable and helpful with regard to good fishing sites and safe swimming area’s, all the fishing equipment, bait and snorkeling equipment was provided free for our enjoyment.
    It was surprisingly cheap considering the size of the boat, the service and the full day’s enjoyment we got from our trip.
    We can highly recommend chartering this boat for day trips or longer overnight trips.
    The Thai food they served from thier sea food menu on board had a splendid variety of different tasty dishes, all the ice for keeping our drinks cool in the insulated ice boxes and the bottled drinking water was provided free of charge.
    We brought with us some of our favorite music CD’s as the boat has a very good music system.
    This boat also offers evening cruises during which you can try your hand at squid fishing; the squid are plentiful and delicious when cooked on the open BBQ by the crew.
    The most memorable day of our visit to Pattaya Thailand.

    If you wish to dive there are local suppliers who can provide you with all the necessary equipment.
    A good tip in hot weather is to bring along a soft hat, sunglasses and some sun block.

    Jet-ski is maybe a little bit dangerous but it's fun. About 500 for 20 minutes. Better to do it in Jomtien beach.

    Scuba Diving Pattaya
  • By worldscuba on March 22, 2005

  • Every year in Pattaya, Thailand, thousands of people complete their PADI Open Water Diver Certification,or continue their education with the PADI Advanced Open Water, PADI Rescue Diver, PADI Divemaster and PADI Instructor courses. These are the worldwide-recognised diving certifications From PADI (Professional Association Of Diving Instructors) necessary for participating in SCUBA activities. Qualified divers enjoy the superb undersea scenery at nearby Islands just offshore from Pattaya. The diving offers a superb variety of fishlife, corals, and also shipwrecks. The people who have been swimming in the water at Pattaya beach just off the busy beach road will be pleasantly surprised to hear that the water quality improves dramatically just a short boat ride from the pier.

    Some dive shops in Pattaya also offer scuba equipment sales, it can often be cheaper buying items from Pattaya than from Western countries. The main brands you will find available are Scubapro, Suunto, Mares, and Zeagle; although there are other brands available.

    The snorkelling from Pattaya is also a great day out! Snorkelling can be a relaxing day-trip around the beautiful islands such as Koh Lan, Koh Sak, Koh Khrok, Koh Rin, Koh Man Wichai, Koh Klung BAdan or Koh Phai. The dive centers in Pattaya cater for snorkellers who join the customers on the dive boats.

    On Pattaya dive shop which I highly recommended is:

    SIAM DIVERS

    If you have your own diving equipment, bring it along if you like. Alternatively Siam Divers provide rental equipment, and equipment sales. I highly recommend this dive center!

  • Wow... the waves are big.

    And the winds are so strong.

    Saw a lot of people windsurfing and also para-surfing.

    You're hooked up to a chute like a big kite and you wear skis, using the control bar, you catch the wind and surf the waves!

    Looks like great fun and there are places that offer lessons if you're interested.
