Trip Itinerary

We will go to the Samae San Islands or the Pattaya Islands. The Pattaya Islands are divided into the Pattaya Near Islands and Pattaya Far Islands.

We can also combine the Pattaya Far and Near Islands during one day trip. Normally we organize one coral reef dive and one wreck dive during a day trip. Wreck dives are only possible for certified PADI Advanced divers and above.

The exact dive and snorkeling sites we choose depend on the weather conditions and certification level of the divers. We take you to the best dive and snorkeling sites of that particular day, so that you can experience the best of our stunning coral reefs and wrecks.

Choosing the dive site and location is normally done the night before. If you do have any requests please ask when you book and we will do our best to schedule it.

The hotel pick up is around 08.00 and 08.30 from your hotel, where we meet at the shop to complete paperwork and confirm equipment sizes. Once completed, we head off together to of the two harbors we sail from. We normally visit a wreck dive site and a coral dive / snorkeling site in the morning and after lunch on board we do our third dive / second snorkeling spot.

Once the diving and snorkeling is completed, we head back to the harbor, unload the equipment and head back to the dive shop. Depending on where we go, we usually arrive back at the dive shop between 15.30 and 16.30. Our drivers will then drive you back to your hotel.

Pattaya Dive Sites

Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned diver, whether you are an Open Water diver, Dive Instructor, or Tec Diver, have you ever thought about exploring Scuba diving in Pattaya and Samaesan? It's an adventure that every diver should experience at least once in their lifetime! These areas boast a variety of marine life and some of Thailand's most remarkable shipwrecks. Prepare to be amazed by the breathtaking scenery that awaits you. This incredible opportunity is right within your reach, so why not dive in and give it a go!

Near Islands

The Pattaya Near Islands are a short 30-minute boat ride away. While Ko Larn (Coral Island) is known for its crowded beaches, we prefer to dive at the quieter islands nearby, such as Ko Krok and Ko Sak. The stunning HTMS Kut and Mattaphon wrecks can be found in the 'Near Islands' region.

Far Islands

Pattaya's 'faraway islands' live up to their name, boasting idyllic charm. These tropical getaways feature pristine sandy beaches, the clearest waters, and vibrant coral reefs, making them some of the healthiest in the Pattaya area. Day trip boats typically set sail from Jomtien and Pattaya to explore the Pattaya Far Islands.

Samae San Islands

As the area around Samae San is less developed and more quiet than Pattaya you can see the difference while diving. The coral reefs are more intact and healthier as there are simply less people visiting them and there are less stressors to influence the ecosystem. At the Samae San Islands you often have the best visibility as well.

What Our Customers Say

The most professional, knowledgeable, and saftest diving school in Thailand. The main priority of this scuba diving school is every Divers safety. My family and myself dived with Jomtien Dive Center over the course of 4 days, every dive was totally different, and from the moment they picked us up, everything was just perfect.

Nathalie

Absolutely the best! Kudos to the most awesome team at Jomtien Dive Center. You really fulfilled your promise in taking care of us and we enjoyed ourselves. Gary, you are an awesome leader and lead by example. We noticed you had so many staff on-hand but you carried our nitrox tank all the way from van to boat. Says a lot and everything about the person you are.

Dominic

Professional, and incredibly friendly- great dive centre set up, and loves the boats. Would highly recommend anyone wanting to learn to dive in Pattaya to give them a call, or anyone who wants to do some diving in Pattaya. I felt incredibly lucky to have met him and this whole team of divers. Definitely going back!

Nina

This is the place to book. They own the boats and many operations do not. Very well organized and responsive. Picked me up at my hotel in Na Jomtien. Boats have bathrooms! They feed you a delicious lunch. They have coffee and tea and water on board. Highly recommend company. They made it easy!
