Rayong Pinnacles Trip February 2019

Image
Rayong Pinnacles Trip February 2019 - The Mermaids Rayong Pinnacles trip in January was so popular and booked out within a week, so we decided to add another on for February. The dives on the Pinnacles gave us plenty of marine life including some amazing nudibranchs and a whole load of healthy corals. The depths on the sites are anywhere from 5m to 25m, so a great day out for any certification level and age. https://www.mermaidsdivecenter.com/rayong-pinnacles-trip-february-2019/

We Love Our Community

Image
We Love Our Community - We love our local community and help wherever we can by donating diving vouchers for raffles or getting involved in activities. We wondered how we could help our local Community Partner - The Hand to Hand Foundation and when their football teams were formed, this was the perfect choice. https://www.mermaidsdivecenter.com/we-love-our-community/

International School of Chonburi Snorkeling Day

Image
International School of Chonburi Snorkeling Day - Who knew that we had such an abundance of underwater natural beauty right on our doorstep? Children in Years 3-6 went on a snorkeling trip with the Mermaids team to Samaesan island yesterday and jumped into an underwater oasis filled with a kaleidoscope of vibrant fish and mesmerizing sea creatures. https://www.mermaidsdivecenter.com/international-school-of-chonburi-pattaya-snorkeling-day/

Diving with Whale Sharks

Image
Diving with Whale Sharks - When a Whale Shark is spotted on the surface 20 minutes prior to your dive, you don't expect to drop down and be treated to spotting it instantly. And not only one of them but two Whale Sharks on a single dive. This is pretty much every divers dream come true. We were so grateful to spend an afternoon diving with these gentle and graceful creatures at Richleiu Rock, North Andaman. https://www.mermaidsdivecenter.com/april/

Twice a year, here at Mermaids Dive Center we host a trip down to the beautiful island of Koh Chang.

Diving the Bremen Wreck

Image
Diving the Bremen Wreck - We need really good conditions to get out to the Bremen Wreck and the 10th November 2018 was just prefect for this day trip out for our local divers. The Petchburi Bremen was built in Germany and has a length of 88.5m. She was confiscated by Thailand in 1917 and sank sailing from Bangkok to Swatow due to an engine room fire on 27th December 1920 in a channel of water that is hard to dive. https://www.mermaidsdivecenter.com/diving-the-bremen-wreck/
