Directory of 13 Scuba Diving Businesses in Bang Lamung, Thailand

Finding a dive shop in the Bang Lamung region of Thailand is not a difficult task. The city of Pattaya is the main dive location, and its streets and beachfront roads are filled with various water sports providers and dive schools.  Easy to get to, with Bangkok and its international airport a short drive away, this is one of Thailand’s most popular cities and a haven for scuba diving enthusiasts.

The Seafari Dive Centre, not far from the curving bay of the city, is a 5 star PADI outfit, and also the first dive school in Thailand to have registered with PADI. With over 40 years experience, they offer courses right up to technical diver with PADI, but also cover SSI and ANDI training if needed. They also still run general snorkeling trips for swimmers who aren’t so keen to disappear below the waves, so friends and family can come along on trips.

The Aquanauts Dive Center in the same location is a five star PADI Career Development Center, but they too offer technical courses from ANDI, DSAT and TDI. They also appreciate the benefits of being able to capture the moments you spend beneath the water, so budding photographers can enjoy their photography courses – the perfect way to bring home a souvenir of the visit – and that’s probably why they’re proud of their endorsement from the National Geographic, one of only three outfits in Thailand to hold the honor.

Almost right on the beach, cleverly named DiveSea (Dive South East Asia) is a five star PADI outfit with a difference. In addition to their classroom-based lessons, they also take some of their instruction right to the water onboard their 86ft Villai Samut vessel, equipped with video for onboard instructional and training programs. Offering scuba and snorkeling experiences, their day trips come with complimentary Thai lunches- freshly cooked on board- and their three decks can accommodate large numbers of divers for day and overnight trips. Striving to be one of the best dive schools in Thailand, they certainly have an excellent reputation with some great customer testimonials on Trip Advisor.
