Learning to dive the easy way

Never dived before? Don't worry we have a special PADI one-day course called Discover Scuba that enables you to dive on a coral reef on the first day. You won't get a diving licence, but you will get unique memories and the chance to open a new window on adventure in your life.

Pattaya is a great place to learn to dive, with good coral reefs in 5-15metres and water that stays around 30c for most of the year. It is also ideal for those divers who want to become a PADI instructor and spend their working lives enjoying their favourite hobby.

The best way to achieve this is by signing up for a six-month internship and that's where  Pattaya scores over other locations as there is no closed season on this part of the Eastern seaboard of the Gulf of Siam.

We'll guarantee that you won't waste one day of your six month internship course due to bad weather and in warm seas.

Certified divers choose Pattaya for day trips on wrecks and reefs because the city offers scores of things to keep the non-divers in the family happy. They can go snorkelling or take a trip to swim with dolphins.

The cosmopolitan nature of Pattaya lessens the "culture shock" for Westerners who have never been to Thailand before.  Got a question ? The please email us at dchandler@loxinfo.co.th and we'll do out best to give you the info you need. 

Take the plunge !

Learning to dive is easy and fun. Many people like the idea of "flying" weightlessly over an exotic coral reef but have never tried it and are not certain that they can do it. So PADI have designed a special, one-day "experience" course for people just like you.

                          It's called PADI Discover Scuba Diving

This is how it works. You go out on the dive boat to the nearby coral islands and on the way you will be briefed on how you use the equipment and also taught some basic rules. After that you go into shallow water by the beach and learn a few simple skills that will allow you to have fun and be safe under water.

Then you go off for a dive on the beautiful fringing reef with your instructor. After lunch on the boat you can go for a second dive with no further training required. Throughout the course you will be under the close supervision of am experienced PADI professional instructor and you will go no deeper than 12metres.

If you enjoy the experience and want to continue diving without any further training you can do so as a DSD diver throughout your holiday with a PADI Professional Scuba instructor taking care of you.

Cost of DSD course: 4,000baht. Time required: One day
