You will find more interesting diving in your local YMCA swimming pool
than within 200k of Pattaya. While there IS one 'wreck,' it is just a
small fishing boat that sits in about 15 feet of water with the top of
it exposed. The rest of the diving in Pattaya is sand. Flat sand. There
are a few fish... at times... but if you make one dive in Pattaya,
you've made them all. The dive shop may well be legit (which is unlikely
being it's in one of Thailand's largest scam areas) but you will get a
lot better diving either further south in the Gulf of Thailand at Koh
Tao (and there are dozens of good dive ops there) or on the Andaman Sea
side, diving Hing Deang or Hin Muang, Koh Phi Phi, Krabi, or a host of
other places. PLEASE... do NOT associate Pattaya with diving. People go
to Pattaya for sex, not surf.
