Introduction Diving in Pattaya

Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

Pattaya attracts diving enthusiasts from all over the world with its rich marine resources and beautiful underwater landscapes. Not only does it have multiple diving resorts, but the diving experience is available all year round, and there are opportunities to dive even in the rainy season.

Unique Creatures and Landscapes:Pattaya is famous for its rich shipwreck sites and coral reefs. Divers can explore history in the shipwrecks while encountering blue spotted rays, resting bamboo sharks, groupers, bat fish and swimming turtles. In addition, Pattaya's islands are also home to Hawksbill turtles, which are very likely to be seen, as well as macro photography creatures such as nudibranchs (sea hares and flatworms) and seahorses.

Excellent Visibility: Visibility in Pattaya waters is usually around 20 meters. The best time for diving is from September to February. During these months, the sea is calm and visibility is high, making it the best time to view shipwrecks and coral reefs.

Comfortable air and water temperature: Pattaya has high temperatures throughout the year, with average temperatures usually ranging from 25-35°C and average water temperatures ranging from 27-30°C, making it very suitable for water activities such as swimming, snorkeling and diving.

Beginner Difficulty: The diving difficulty in Bali is relatively low. The depth of the dive site is usually 5-19 meters. The water flow is weak, and there is no pressure even in the top current.

Pattaya has become a paradise for diving enthusiasts with its unique underwater landscape, excellent visibility conditions and warm water temperature. If divers love the sea and are eager to explore the unknown world, then diving in Pattaya will be a choice that divers cannot miss.

Pattaya Diving Exploration of Koh Larn

Pattaya Diving Exploration of Koh Larn

Pattaya Diving Exploration of Koh Larn: Dive into the Glass Sea in February and Discover the Forgotten Coral Secret At 5 am in Pattaya Bay, the roar of diesel engines breaks the silence before dawn. I jump onto the deck of a local fishing boat with 20 kg of diving gear on my back. The captain, Somchai, points his fishy-smelling thumb to the east - where Koh Larn, shrouded in morning mist, is slowly waking up from the deep blue sea. This is not a regular route on the tourist brochure, but a secret passage for coral reef guardians. ? Underwater Church in the Morning Mist (Recommended Time: 6:00-8:00) When the first ray of sunlight penetrates 12 meters of seawater, the coral reefs at the northwest corner of Tawaen Beach are performing the magic of light. The cold current unique to February mornings brings a glass sea with visibility of over 30 meters, and the staghorn corals, once thought to be extinct, stretch their branches in the morning light, resembling the stained glass dome of a Gothic church. Experienced dive guide Anan will take you past the sightseeing snorkeling area, where at an 18-meter-deep cliff, the rusty propeller of a World War II shipwreck is hidden - now a nursery for blue-ringed octopuses. ? Coral Maternity Ward at Noon (Recommended Time: 11:00-13:00) The seventh day after the full moon in February is the "Coral Birth Day" passed down by local fishermen. In a hidden bay on the east side of Samae Beach, the water temperature suddenly rises by 0.5°C. Put on a magnifying glass mask, and you will witness the most magical life theater: soft corals release pink gametes, like an underwater cherry blossom rain; giant clams suddenly open their shells, spraying out a galaxy-like cloud of sperm and eggs. Remember to bring a red filter, as these fleeting reproductive behaviors will present a breathtaking magical hue under natural light. ? Fluorescent Secret Realm of Dusk Diving (Recommended Time: 17:30-18:30) When the sunset dyes Ta Yai Beach amber, the real magic is just beginning. Put on a UV flashlight, and those seemingly ordinary corals during the day suddenly burst into neon blue fluorescence - this is the photosynthetic warning system of coral polyps before the arrival of moonlight. Follow night diving veteran Noi to find glowing boxer shrimps in the 6-meter shallow water, using fluorescent tentacles to communicate with symbiotic gobies. The bioluminescent plankton unique to February will make every stroke of yours bring up starry debris. Disruptive Experience List 1. Coral Doctor's Treatment Class: Book a "Coral Transplant Work Dive" at Nual Dive Shop and use special epoxy resin to help broken coral branches heal. 2. Underwater Archaeological Breakfast: Dive into a 10-meter-deep reef with a waterproof lunch box and enjoy mango sticky rice next to the shipwreck. 3. Sonar Meditation: Lie on the 30-meter-deep sand and listen to the 52Hz resonance of longtail sharks swimming by. Local Dive Spot Jargon - "Attend a Jellyfish Wedding": Refers to the mass reproduction of moon jellyfish in Had Tian Bay during the full moon. - "Deliver a Package to the Dragon King": Deliver a waterproof postcard to the sunken mailbox at the southwest corner of Naul Pier. - "Sea Slug Hunter": Refers to dive guides who can find rare nudibranchs in coral crevices. February Exclusive Equipment - 3mm wetsuit + sun hat (the temperature difference between day and night causes the surface water temperature to fluctuate between 26-29°C) - Coral-friendly sunscreen mud (blue paste containing zinc oxide can disguise as juvenile fish) - Waterproof sketchbook (record the moment of encountering whale sharks, which pass by two weeks earlier than in peak season) When the ferry carries the last batch of tourists away, Koh Larn reveals its true self. On Ta Yai Beach under the moonlight, old fishermen are mending crab traps, and faint chanting can be heard in the distance. At this moment, diving into the warm night sea, you will understand why locals call diving "staying overnight in the Dragon Palace" - those noisy coral reefs during the day are writing ancient underwater scriptures with bioluminescence. The February sea breeze carries the sweet fragrance of longan flowers, a secret invitation exclusive to the dry season: come and be a night watchman of the coral kingdom for seven days before the tourist army awakens.

Pattaya Skydiving Tour - Rayong Marriott Resort & Spa

Pattaya Skydiving Tour - Rayong Marriott Resort & Spa

Rayong is further east of Pattaya, with fewer people. There is Koh Samet nearby, and the hotel seems to have a shuttle bus to the pier. I only stayed for two days and was too lazy to go, so I just lay in the hotel. The hotel pool is very long, starting from the shark tank next to it and ending at the beach. You can swim to the side and watch the little sharks through the glass in the water. There are also two slides, one high and one low, which are very suitable for children. The hotel beach is nice, and the sea is very clear with no wind or waves. There is also a long shallow area where you can soak and float in the sea, but I didn't see any fish. I got up early to go skydiving, but I couldn't get a car to the base on Grab or Bolt, so I had to ask the front desk for help. The front desk smiled and said that this is the countryside, so it's hard to get a car, and they helped me call a taxi. But the trip showed over 100 baht on Grab and Bolt, and the hotel called a car for 300 baht (╥﹏╥). But there was no other way, as transportation was inconvenient and I was in a hurry to go to the skydiving base. Fortunately, the weather was very good that day, and I could see Koh Samet while skydiving. The scenery was very nice. But when the parachute opened and I was about to land, I felt like I was going to die, as I was very dizzy.
