I did the PADI Advanced Open Water course with Jomtien Dive Center and it was absolutely fantastic!! The staff excellent, the boat(s) comfortable and well equipped and freshly cooked lunch delicious. Our instructor Rob was very professional and friendly - as all the staff members were. Thanks to him I got to participate in a bamboo shark release - not something you get to do with every dive center. I felt really welcomed. If I only could I would stay longer and do more dives with them. Could not have had a better experience. 6/5, highly recommend! Thanks everyone, hope I can come back at some point!…

Me and my partner had an amazing experience. This was the first time we tried scuba, We both were excited and nervous at the same time. The instructor were supporting and friendly. We got lucky to have ANN the master instructor to assist us. She was very understanding and was emphasising on believing in yourself and relaxing. I am really thankful for her for making my experience a memorable one. My first dive was not so comfortable as somehow water was going inside my nose. But my second dive was amazing, we went 9 meters down the sea at koh krok island. Witnessed turtles, coral reefs and underwater flora and fauna. All together we would recommend this diving centre.…

Jomtien (With Gary) have also another affiliated dive center in Pattaya. They are very professional and nice. The good thing is that they have 2 possible destinations for diving.

We had a wonderful day snorkeling with Jomtien Dive Center. To start, Gary Phillips, GM, was a great communicator, quickly answering questions by email and providing logistics/information (I never heard back from the other places I queried). Punctual pick up at our hotel and easy check in at dive shop. About 45 min AC van ride to Samesan. The drive outside the city to the fishing village was beautiful. The boat was comfortable with lots of shade, clean head, and fresh water shower to rinse off. Most people were diving. A few snorkeled with life jackets and a guide. My husband and I were able to go off on our own. We snorkled in two sites for 60-90 minutes each. Saw lots of fish - wrasse, parrot fish, butterfly fish, grouper, schools of tetras, etc; slow marching long spine black sea urchins, anemones including one with two clown fish, sea cucumber and seastars, an interesting ray, three bright colored crabs, giant clams, and several types of coral. The water was warm and unfortunately turbid with fair amount of plastic pollution at the first site. Delicious Thai lunch (rice, vegetable dish and two chicken dishes) and plenty of cold fresh water to drink. All in all a lovely day - highly recommend.…

I had checked out several 5 star dive shop options and am glad that I made an excellent choice with Jomtien Dive Center to complete my open water and advanced course in four days. Everything was super smooth, right from the initial contact with Gary ( General Manager) who organised everything flawlessly including my vegetarian meal. Their team is friendly and professional. I was fortunate to be assigned to an Awesome instructor, Nick Bamford, who was professional, patient, thorough and really fun to be with, he willingly cancelled his day off to help me to complete the required 9 dives. 10 stars to you Nick, for an amazing experience way beyond my expectations. I am 100% looking forward to returning for fun dives and courses. …
