About Pattaya Dive Centre

Pattaya Dive Centre has operated on Pattaya Beach Road for more than 24 years, making it one of the city's oldest established dive centres. It sits inside Tipp Plaza, between Soi 10 and Soi 11, in the heart of central Pattaya.

The centre is run by a British PADI Master Instructor and teaches the full PADI pathway — from a first-time Discover Scuba experience through Open Water certification to continuing-education and professional courses — alongside technical (Tec) diving for more experienced divers.

For certified divers there are guided reef and wreck fun dives across the Gulf islands, plus equipment rental and repair and snorkeling tours for non-divers who still want to get on the water.
