Wreck & coral diving

Real Divers run diving Pattaya speedboat trips from our 12-metre twin-engine speedboat to take our customers to the Pattaya near and far islands.

We will be having daily speedboat trips throughout November where we will be diving the wrecks and coral dive sites from our 12 metre speedboats. November means the end of the rainy monsoon season and back to the flat sea conditions, blue skies and sunshine.

The Pattaya far islands dive sites that we will be diving are the Koh Rin pinnacles, Koh Man Wichai and Koh Klung Badan which are our best coral dive sites in Pattaya so get in touch if you are interested in this trip. These trips we will also be teaching PADI Open water and Advanced courses as well as the Discover scuba diving experience for first time divers.

The other speedboat will be going to the Pattaya near island where we will be diving either the HTMS Mataphon or the HTMS Kood plus 2 coral dives one usually being a drift dive.

The speedboat trips are great for beginner divers like Discover scuba diving and open water students as we can get close to shallow water meaning no long surface swims. We also have dives for the Advanced certified divers who want to dive the wrecks and coral sites. On the coral dives you will see angel fish, butterfly fish, puffer fish, rays and a large Hawkbill turtles also loads of smaller fish life.

 

You do need to be an advanced diver to dive the shipwrecks as they are all deep dives. HTMS Khram, HTMS Kud and the HTMS Mataphon are all ex-US Navy vessels that were scuttled at the depths of 22m to 30m. On the wreck dives you can see schooling barracuda, rays, bat fish, sweet lips and small bamboo sharks plus scorpian fish, nudibranch and loads of small fish life. You do need to be an Advanced diver to dive the wrecks, if you are not an Advanced diver the Advanced course takes only two days to complete and you get to dive the wrecks on the course. We have a special price reduction promotion at the moment for the Advanced course 

Our speedboat Trips are for those people that maybe don’t want to wake up early or get back late. We meet at the dive center at 9am and our speedboat leaves from Jomtien Beach at 9.30am. We are back from the diving activities between 2 to 2.30 pm depending on which dive sites we go to on the day. Our 12-metre speedboat takes 12 minutes to the Pattaya near islands and 25 minutes to the far islands instead of the 1 hour to 2 hours it takes on the large chartered dive boats in Pattaya.

We keep our dive trips to a maximum of 10 divers on the speedboat, 4 divers to a buddy team (max). No more than 3 students to 1 Instructor when teaching PADI courses.

Some of the activities you can do is the 1 day PADI Discover scuba dive experience. PADI course such as the PADI Open water course, PADI Advanced course and PADI dive specialties.

You can also join us on a scuba tune-up dive if you have been out of diving for a while. Where our Divemaster can go over any skills you want to practice and then guide you on two coral reef dives. 

Not into scuba diving! Why not try Snorkeling on the reefs or walk on beaches, relax drink a cold beer and get a sun-tan.
