Pattaya Dive Centre lists trips and courses on its prices page and course pages, all checked on 10 October 2026; every price is listed above. Trip prices include transfers, standard equipment, assistance, lunch on board and refreshments; dive computers and torches usually cost extra, though booking online five days ahead adds a free dive-computer rental.

Training & details

The Thai company record names บริษัท พัทยา ไดฟ์ เซ็นเตอร์ จำกัด, gives a 7 August 2008 registration date and lists 219/3 as its address.

Pattaya Dive Centre is a PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Centre at Tipp Plaza on Beach Road. It publishes prices for two-dive days, introductory dives, certification courses, professional training and technical courses. The useful distinction is not simply “a dive”: certification, equipment, site and medical requirements change the transaction.

The operator lists certified-diver trips around Pattaya and Samae San, Discover Scuba Diving, Open Water and advanced recreational courses, Divemaster and instructor development, and technical programmes. Its PADI profile independently identifies the centre as a PADI 5 Star IDC.

The price page describes two-dive day trips with lunch and separates own-gear from rental-gear products. It also offers snorkelling and a ten-dive combination. A diver comparing operators can use the diving and watersports guide rather than treating every boat day as interchangeable.

Arrival details

Maps and the operator identify 219/3 Tipp Plaza, Pattaya Beach Road, with phone +66 38 422 133. Maps lists the centre daily from 08:00 to 20:00. Those are the previously checked shop hours. The current trip page, checked 8 September 2026, gives an 08:15 meeting at the dive centre and an estimated 15:30–16:00 return.

Use the exact Tipp Plaza pin and ask where hotel pickup applies. No checked first-hand source published a universal pickup boundary, parking instruction or transfer time for every booking.

Before you go

Choose the exact trip or course and disclose certification level, last dive, equipment needs and any relevant answers on the PADI medical form. The operator says a “yes” answer can require a physician to complete the form before training proceeds. That is a booking condition, not medical advice from this directory.

Ask for departure and return times, dive sites, maximum depth, group arrangement, computer and flashlight charges, deposit, balance method, cancellation and weather policy. Confirm whether the advertised group Open Water price requires both people to book and train together.

Still unconfirmed

  • The specific dive sites and boat for a future date are not fixed by the price table.
  • The current hotel-transfer boundary, pickup time and equipment-size availability were not published for every product.
  • The page does not state that dive-computer or flashlight rental is included in all bookings.
  • Group size, instructor assignment and spoken language require confirmation for the selected trip or course.
