About Seafari Dive Centre
Seafari Dive Centre has been part of Pattaya's diving scene since 1980, making it one of the oldest operators in the area. As a PADI 5-Star IDC, it can take a complete beginner from their very first breath underwater all the way to professional instructor, which few centres in the region offer under one roof.
Its signature trips are wreck dives, with the team specialising in the HTMS Khram — a decommissioned Thai navy vessel sunk as an artificial reef and now one of the Gulf's most popular wreck sites. Day trips also head out to Samae San, where the water tends to be clearer and the marine life richer than on the closer reefs.
Based at Mike's Mall in Central Pattaya, Seafari runs everything from a single Discover Scuba session for curious first-timers to multi-dive packages for certified divers and the full ladder of PADI courses. Its long history and top accreditation make it a dependable choice for travellers who want experience and structure behind their dives.
