Training & details

The PADI listing publishes daily 08:00–19:30 shop hours; a booked boat trip follows its own meeting and return instructions rather than that walk-in window.

The operator offers first-dive experiences, PADI Open Water training, continuing education and professional development. PADI lists scuba, TecRec, freediving, snorkelling and Emergency First Response, plus English and Chinese as centre languages. It also lists an onsite classroom, free Wi-Fi, a retail shop, dive boat and parking. A listed language or facility is centre-level information, not a guarantee for every departure.

Real Divers says its Pattaya trips use 12-metre speedboats and publishes separate meeting-at-the-centre and local-transfer products. Compare the exact product rather than assuming every course or fun dive has the same boat, site or pickup. The Pattaya dive-operator guide explains the distinction between a first dive, certification and a certified-diver trip.

Arrival details

The centre is at 334/117 Moo 12 near Welcome Jomtien. Maps publishes Plus Code VVMJ+J4 and the same shop phone as PADI. The operator says it boards its speedboat from Jomtien Beach near the centre, while particular trips may follow different instructions. Use the booking confirmation for the meeting point and do not assume that the office pin is the boarding point.

Before you go

Send the chosen package name, date, participant count, ages, certification level, last-dive date, equipment sizes and hotel location. Ask which boat and sites are planned, what happens after weather changes, which transfers are included and whether photos, insurance or certification fees carry conditions. Complete all medical paperwork honestly and obtain qualified advice when a form requires it.

Still unconfirmed

  • No package availability was confirmed for a particular date.
  • The public pages do not guarantee a named instructor, language or dive site.
  • Sea conditions, visibility, wildlife and return time cannot be promised from the listing.
  • The January 2027 promotion end wording should be reconfirmed before payment.

For non-scuba choices, continue to the diving and watersports guide.
