I spent two weeks in Pattaya diving with divemaster Andy P. and every dive was excellent. The dive locations themselves were good, even though the visibility was sometimes less than 5m during this rainy season of August, but more importantly Andy P. had a perfect balance of ensuring preparation, safety, and the best possible experience while fun diving wrecks and reefs. At no time was I worried, and I felt absolutely well taken care of by the entire staff. We saw multiple rays, stonefish, turtles, jellyfish (one being eaten by a school of fish), and the densest schools of fish of all types. Some unexpected perks to typical dives were; never having to carry tanks, since the boats are stocked and refill onboard, rarely having to carry my gear with Andy P. and the staff taking care of everything between dive days, and free shuttle too and from hotel by cab or staffer Paul. I requested to dive some of the southern islands, and the staff made it happen for me. Also the daily lunch was superb; fresh, hot, homemade Thai food between dives. I highly recommend you try Pattaya scuba adventures first, because I never felt the need to try the others after my first dive.
