Recommendation for one-day boat dive in Pattaya, Thailand, please?

[seaexplorer8888]

Hi,

I have time for a one-day (Saturday) trip to Pattaya for a couple of boat dives.

I've seen many outfits on the web, but would really appreciate any recommendations, in terms of quality of service, boat, not too many divers per boat etc etc.

I don't mind paying a little above average for a better service!

It's rather difficult to guage the relative merits from web sites!

Thanks!!

They are all more or less the same. Of the regular ones (i.e. guaranteed to go out) I would dive on Mermaids, DiveSEA, Aquanauts, and Adventure Divers - all offer good service.

.. the dive sites, as I'm really trying to save time and avoid being on the slow big boat all day? Leaving the jetty at 8.00, returning by 12.00 would be great, with 2 dives.

You can try DiveSEA, they are the only ones I can think of that might be able to do something with a speedboat for you. www.DiveSEA.com and get contact info. Most dive sights in Pattaya are at least an hour by 'big boat' and the better, outer islands are 2 hours out. Good luck.
