Mermaids Dive Center in Pattaya, Thailand

Rayong Pinnacles Dive Trips - It was an early Saturday morning start but everyone was really excited to get going and dive the Pinnacles and the Petra Wreck on the way back to the pier. After checking in at Mermaids and getting dive equipment fitted, we were soon on our way. The dives on the Pinnacles gave us plenty of marine life and a whole load of healthy corals. https://www.mermaidsdivecenter.com/rayong-pinnacles-dive-trips/

Reef Conservation with Bangkok Patana School - Reef Conservation is a big part of our diving life here at Mermaids and beyond our Clean Up the Beaches and Reefs efforts we have been working with Bangkok Patana School, Bangkok since 2012 in creating artificial reefs down in Samaesan.

Taking Pics Underwater - Photography is more than just pointing and shooting. Photography is about capturing more than just a moment. It’s about capturing an emotion. An emotion either felt by the viewer or displayed by the content. Sometimes it can may be about capturing in an environment not everyone can physically go and see for themselves, on the peak of Everest for example or from the window of a space shuttle. https://www.mermaidsdivecenter.com/taking-pics-underwater/

Merry Christmas Everyone - From all the Staff at Mermaids Dive Center, we wish all our divers, friends and family a Very Merry Christmas.

Nudibranchs aka Sea Slugs - Have you ever seen a slug on land in the garden? For those of you that have seen this odd animal would probably agree that slugs are not pleasant looking. Unfortunately for land dwelling slugs, they were not born with beauty in their DNA. However, there is hope for marine slugs. These slugs, or more commonly known as “Nudi Branch”, provide a most captivating display of colors and patterns. https://www.mermaidsdivecenter.com/nudibranchs-aka-sea-slugs/
