Absolutely, and we would rather you did. Group trips, multi-day dive packages and technical certification bundles all qualify for custom packaging and special rates. Send us your dates and goals and we will quote you directly.

Two options. Discover Scuba Diving (5,500 THB) is a try-dive — two dives with an instructor, no certification needed. If you want a licence you can dive with anywhere in the world, take the Open Water Course (15,900 THB, 4 dives).

Our instructor team is certified with PADI, IANTD, SSI and SDI. Your certification card is recognised worldwide and valid for life.

Yes. A certified fun dive day is 3,300 THB for two dives, at either Pattaya or Samaesan. Bring your certification card and logbook.

All the way. Beyond recreational courses we run the full technical path — Intro to Tec, Advanced Nitrox, Decompression Procedures, Extended Range, Helitrox and Trimix — plus Cave, Wreck and Mine specialities. See the full course list.

Wrecks. Pattaya is the Gateway to Shipwreck — the Navy wrecks HTMS Khram, HTMS Khood and HTMS Mattaphon sit in the Gulf of Thailand alongside the legendary Hardeep at Samaesan, with the island reefs of Koh Larn, Koh Sak and Koh Krok close by. See our dive sites.

We recommend it, and it is a short and inexpensive session — the Refresher is 2,900 THB. It rebuilds your skills and confidence in shallow water before you join a normal trip.

We run daily trips to two areas: Pattaya (island reefs and the Navy wrecks) and Samaesan (quieter, more pristine sites, home of the Hardeep wreck). See the schedule for the weekly pattern.

Snorkelling is 1,900 THB, a certified fun dive day (2 dives) is 3,300 THB and Discover Scuba (2 dives) is 4,300 THB — the same price at both Pattaya and Samaesan. Full list on the price list.

Departure and return times vary by destination and season. We confirm your exact meeting time and place when we send your itinerary.

Tell us where you are staying when you book and we will confirm the pick-up arrangement with your itinerary. If you are staying at House Hotel you are already at our dive center.

Yes — snorkellers are welcome on our day trips, so mixed groups of divers and non-divers can share the same boat and the same day.

No. Rental equipment is available and course prices include the gear you need. If you own a mask you love, bring it — a familiar mask makes a real difference.

Swimwear, a towel, sunscreen (reef-safe if possible), a hat and your certification card and logbook if you are certified. Everything else we handle.

Yes, and if you want to do it properly we teach an Underwater Photography specialty (19,500 THB) covering camera setup, lighting, composition and the buoyancy control it takes to get a sharp shot.

Sidemount and twinset yes — we teach and support both, including Tec Pool Training for gear configuration and drills. For rebreather support, contact us with your unit and certification before you book.

Ten years old for the Open Water Course. For younger children we run Seal Team (9,900 THB), a pool-based programme designed for kids.

You need to be comfortable in water. The Open Water Course includes a basic swim and float assessment — it is about water confidence, not speed.

You will complete a standard diver medical declaration before diving. Certain conditions — including heart and lung conditions, recent surgery, epilepsy and pregnancy — require a doctor's sign-off. If you are unsure, tell us before you book and we will advise.

Standard guidance: at least 18 hours after your last dive before you fly, and longer after multi-day or decompression diving. Plan your last dive day with your flight in mind and we will help you schedule it.

Course prices include insurance. If you dive frequently or dive technical profiles, we strongly recommend your own dedicated dive insurance as well.

Our dive center is inside House Hotel in central Pattaya. We moved here this season from the Centara Grand Mirage.
