We are often asked what\u2019s the difference between Copperband Scuba Academy and other Pattaya Dive Centres.  This is a question we really find difficult to answer because unless you have tried diving with all Pattaya Dive Centres it is hard for us to explain to our customers.  Of Course every Pattaya Dive Centre takes their customers Scuba Diving, we all do that but we all do it in so many different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All we can do to help you decide which Pattaya Dive Centre to use!  W can give you a number of questions which we would ask the other Dive Centres in Pattaya before making your final decision.  We will also answer those questions on behalf of Copperband Scuba Academy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which Pattaya Dive Centre is best in your opinion?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the dive centre says \u201coh of course we are!\u201d and leaves it there, maybe they are not the right choice.  No one is really \u201cthe best\u201d however every Pattaya Dive Centre offers very different services and therefore the correct Question is \u201cWhy is your Pattaya Dive Centre better for me than the others?\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can answer the latter question \u201cWhy is your Pattaya Dive Centre better for me than the others?\u201d on behalf of Copperband Scuba Academy for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copperband Scuba Academy is a Pattaya Dive Centre established by instructors who have all worked with various other Dive Centres in Pattaya.  We have taken the very best practices of those centres and built on them to provide a comfortable and professional dive experience for all of our customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have designed our boat to exceed the standards of the other Pattaya Dive Centre Boats!  Don\u2019t take our word for it though you must try it to understand.  We also offer a more comprehensive range of refreshements, breakfast pastries , snacks and lunch\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026 more than any other Pattaya Dive Centre does we promise that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We use the best equipment for diving in Pattay.  All of our customers have the opportunity to use Jet Fins, similar to RK3 fins and Booties as well as high quality PSI Wetsuits.  You can also choose to dive with either a BCD or an X-Deep wing!  We give you the options which other Pattaya Dive Centres don\u2019t when it comes to our equipment range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certified Divers<\/u><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are a certified diver we differ from other Pattaya Dive Centres in many ways!  We take pride in the fact that we are the ONLY dive centre that offers 3 dive locations \u2013 Pattaya, Samaesan and Rayong.  We also arrange regular liveaboards for our customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the above, we travel to the Far Islands of Pattaya on our luxury boat where we dive various islands and the Shipwrecks further away, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HTMS Kram<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Koh Phai<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Koh Rin<\/p>\n\n\n\n

North Rock<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Rock<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ko Man Wichai<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ko Klung Badan<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike other Pattaya Dive Centres who travel there on special events, we do so at least once a week (weather permitting) during Monsoon Season and far more regularly if not daily during High Season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This allows our certified divers to see the very best of Scuba Diving in Pattaya.  In addition we also use luxury boats in Samaesan where only certified divers are allowed to dive on board.  Meaning when diving with us in Samaesan you are surrounded by only certified divers.  The Dive Sites are selected specifically for certified divers.  Again on a regular basis we sail to the more distant islands such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hin Chalam<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shark Fin Island<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course we also dive the legendary Hardeep Shipwreck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between October and May, unlike all other Pattaya Dive Centres we offer trips to Rayong from our Dive Centre in Pattaya Central.  Dive the amazing Alahambra Rock and be stunned by beautiful visibility and marine life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to locations we stick to 4 very important core values!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
