Before you dive

Pattaya diving and booking questions

Can I try diving without a certification?

Yes. Choose Try Diving and our instructor will introduce you to the skills and equipment. Medical suitability must be checked before participating.

Can I take a PADI Open Water course while staying in Pattaya?

Yes. Copperband offers a PADI Open Water course in Pattaya with knowledge development, pool practice and four training dives. Our usual programme takes three days, with completion depending on meeting the course requirements. Read the Open Water course guide for entry requirements and preparation. Dragon House accommodation is optional and booked with separate stay dates.

Can certified divers join a wreck diving trip from Pattaya?

Yes. Ask Copperband about guided wreck opportunities when booking your certified dive trip. The available site depends on weather, sea conditions, your qualification and recent experience. A trip booking does not guarantee a specific wreck, and a guided wreck visit does not automatically include entry inside the wreck.

What should I bring?

Bring swimwear, sunscreen and any personal essentials. Certified divers should also bring certification details and their logbook if available.

How much is the diving deposit?

The booking deposit is THB 900 for each person diving. The remaining trip or course balance is payable according to your booking confirmation.

Can I stay at Dragon House?

Yes. Add optional accommodation with separate check-in and check-out dates. Available stays are paid in full online. If no room is available, you can still book diving.
