Scuba Diving Pattaya Thailand
Real Divers Are A British Family Run PADI 5 STAR IDC Dive Center
Scuba diving Pattaya Thailand. We are a British family run PADI 5 STAR IDC center which has been running dive trips and teaching PADI courses in Pattaya since 2006.
We are the only dive center in Pattaya that run their dive trips from 12 metre speedboats, which limits boat travel time to 12 minutes to the near islands and 25 minutes to the far islands, this allows us to have less travel time and more time underwater. It also means you don’t have to wake up so early and get back so late as our trips start at 9.30am to 3pm on week days and 10am to 3.30pm on weekends.
We board our 12 metre speedboat “Reef Seeker” from Jomtien beach which is only 50 metres from the dive center making things so much easier logistically unlike the other Pattaya dive centers that board their boats at the packed Bali Hai pier where you have to walk about a mile to the dive boats.
Our PADI Course Director and Dive Instructors have over 20 years of teaching PADI courses in Pattaya. We have taught thousands of divers from the PADI open water diver beginner level to professional levels such as PADI Divemaster and PADI Dive Instructor ratings. We can teach PADI courses in English, Thai and Chinese, PADI also has the online course knowledge and exams in most languages so that you can study online in your own time.
All our PADI Courses have no hidden costs. On all our PADI courses we include PADI elearning so you can study the knowledge and complete the exam at your own pace before the course start date, the elearning also includes your PADI dive certification. We include a full set of well maintained dive equipment, we also include a dive computer for every student on a PADI course which is not just a mandatory PADI standard but also a dive industry standard! every student must have a timing device. We pride ourselves on teaching you correctly without cutting corners so that you can become a knowledgeable, capable diver that can have some fun in diving because you know what you’re doing after the course.
What makes our dive trips and PADI courses different from other dive centers in Pattaya and Thailand?
Pattaya is the only place in Thailand where you can dive all year round as we don’t experience the unexpected torrential storms and large waves like you get from the April to November monsoon (rainy season) in the North or South of Thailand such as Phuket and Koh Tao. Pattaya is on the East of Thailand where it is sheltered in the Gulf of Thailand and has the least amount of rainfall in Thailand.
Pattaya offers great coral and wreck dives and is a great place to learn to dive or take a PADI course plus all the best dive centers in Pattaya are PADI 5 Star IDC Centers which means they can teach all PADI courses from beginner level to Professional levels and above.
REAL DIVERS SPECIAL TRIPS ON OUR 25 METRE CHARTERED BOAT
We also run Special weekend dive trips which include coral/wreck/night dives. Our night dive trips start at 1.30pm and we are back in Pattaya about 9pm. On these trips as well as just diving we are also teaching the PADI Advanced course plus the PADI Night dive specialty, Wreck dive specialty and PADI Enriched air (Nitrox) course. The next night dive trips will be 8th May and 22nd May as the currents are looking good for the wreck dives and the night dives on those days.
On April 23rd we have our annual ST Georges day trip going to the Pattaya islands on our chartered 25 metre boat where some will be diving others snorkelling, swimming, fishing, drinking beer (it is England day) but generally having a great day out at the Pattaya islands.
On the 24th April we will be having an underwater Treasure hunt with over 40 prizes to be found.
The way the treasure hunt day will work!! we will run the trip from our large 25 metre chartered boat and head out to an island that none of you have ever dived before (It’s our secret Island) our staff will lay underwater and on the boat 40 plus small vases with a number on it, the vase and number will then match the prize. Those of you that aren’t the best underwater navigators we will have our staff leading buddy teams, we are also running PADI Navigation specialty courses (1 day course – 3 dives – 6,000B) and the PADI search and recovery specialty course (2 day course – 4 dives – 9.500B) at discounted prices. The prizes will be given out that afternoon after diving at the Richmond sports bar across the road form the dive center where there will be food, cold beverages and music.

Pattaya has a good selection of coral dive sites for certified divers and students such as Koh Rin, North Rock/South Rock, Koh Man Wichai and Koh klung badan.
Koh Rin has 2 pinnacles either side of her as well as the main island which are great coral dives. Koh Man Wichai has a wall and the famous “fingers” the reef known for looking like the shape of a giant hand. On the coral dives, you will see tropical fish life such as Angelfish, Butterfly fish, schooling Fusiliers and Long Toms plus we have different types of stingrays and pufferfish to see on the dives.

The Pattaya Near islands are renowned for large Hawkbill turtles especially on the Islands of Koh Larn, Koh 
Sak and Koh Krok, you see them on every dive.
Pattaya is also a great place to wreck dive or take a PADI course as we have 4 great shipwrecks, the HTMS Khram & HTMS Kood which rest at 30 metres plus the HTMS Mataphon at 22 metres these all ex-US Navy vessels. The Pattaya wrecks were all scuttled to make artificial reefs and now there is so much fish life on all the wrecks. Schooling barracuda, batfish, rays and small sharks are seen on the dives.
You do need to be an Advanced diver to dive the wrecks, if you are an Open water diver and want to dive the wrecks we have a special price reduction for the PADI Advanced course which only take two days to complete where you get to dive the wrecks.
