Jomtien Dive Center
A Thai directory identifies the operator as จอมเทียนไดฟ์เซ็นเตอร์; its current record address is 97/3 Moo 12 on Jomtien Beach Road.
Jomtien Dive Center is one of the clearer Pattaya-area dive records because the operator publishes a real current product ladder on its own site. The public pages separate certified-diver trips, beginner try dives, snorkelling and full courses instead of forcing every buyer through a contact form first. It is still important to check inclusions, because the headline number does not make every optional rental or course add-on disappear.
What training is on offer
The operator presents Jomtien Dive Center as a PADI 5 Star IDC centre running Pattaya and Samaesan dive trips, beginner try dives, snorkelling and a large menu of PADI courses. On the current pricing page, checked 2026-07-27, the certified-diver fun-dive section states full-day trips from 08:00 to 15:30, for certified Open Water divers and above, with two dives at different dive sites.
The same current site separates beginner products into pool try scuba, one-dive try scuba and two-dive Discover Scuba Diving. It also publishes Open Water packages, Advanced packages, Rescue, Divemaster, specialties and technical courses. That makes this a training-and-trip operator, not only a retail dive shop.
The current public pages also advertise hotel transfer, lunch on the boat and refreshments. Those claims are useful, but they are product-level marketing statements and should still be checked against the exact trip or course you intend to buy.
What it costs
On the official pricing page, checked 2026-07-27, Jomtien Dive Center listed Fun Dive Pattaya at ฿2,800, Fun Dive Samaesan at ฿3,200, 6-dive package over 2 days at ฿7,900, 10-dive package over 5 days at ฿12,000 and 6 dives over 3 days at ฿8,900.
For beginners, the same page listed Pool Try Scuba Diving at ฿2,500, Try Scuba Diving at ฿2,800 and Discover Scuba Diving at ฿3,900. Snorkelling was listed at ฿1,495, and the combined Try Scuba Diving + Snorkeling product at ฿2,800.
For entry-level certification, the current official page listed PADI Open Water Course at ฿15,900, Open Water plus one day fun dive at ฿17,995 and Open Water plus two adventure dives at ฿18,995. The same source also listed optional extras including dive equipment rental at ฿300 per day, additional third dive at ฿1,000, dive computer rental at ฿500 per day and nitrox tank at ฿500 per day.
Who it suits — and who it does not
Jomtien Dive Center suits a traveller who wants a current official Pattaya-area dive price before sending a message, especially for certified fun dives, first-day try dives or an Open Water course comparison. It is also useful for someone staying around Jomtien who wants a south-side operator rather than starting from the North Pattaya corridor.
It is a weaker fit for anyone who assumes the public headline price automatically answers equipment, computer, transport, certification, weather and cancellation questions. Use the watersports category and the best dive operators guide if you want to compare it against operators such as Adventure Divers Pattaya or Pattaya Dive Centre.
Getting there
The current record address is 97/3 Moo 12, Jomtien Beach Road, Nong Prue, Bang Lamung, Chonburi 20150. The contact and pricing pages place the business in the Jomtien corridor and position it as a Pattaya and Samaesan departure operator rather than a boat pier itself.
That means the route question is two-stage: getting to the dive centre or pickup point, then getting onto the actual trip transport. Ask the operator for the exact meeting arrangement for the chosen product. A Jomtien shop address is not, by itself, proof of the dive-boat departure point.
Before you go
Before paying, say whether you are a certified diver, a complete beginner, a non-diving snorkeller or a course buyer. Then ask for the exact inclusion list for that product: equipment, dive computer, hotel transfer radius, lunch, marine fees, digital materials, certification fee, minimum age, swimming comfort and medical-form requirements.
The operator’s contact routes currently include a published phone number and WhatsApp link on the site. Keep the exact product page open when you enquire so the quote matches the correct line item. If you are planning around a wider south-corridor trip, combine this with the Jomtien area page rather than assuming every dive operator has the same pickup geography.
