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

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/

Night diving and cool stuff to see with Mermaids

Night diving and cool stuff to see with Mermaids. Diving on the Hardeep Shipwreck in Samaesan near Pattaya is always an eye opener. Whether you are doing full penetration, checking out the amazing marine life hanging around or looking for the bombs, every dive is different. We recently did a drift dive onto the wreck in the afternoon followed by a full night dive. https://www.mermaidsdivecenter.com

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/

We Are Football Crazy. An update on the Hand to Hand boys football team. They won 5 games out of 5 to blitz the St. Andrews Green Valley 11-a-side Championships and so 15 months since their founding to take their first title. With the spirit and growing skill of  the players, we believe the 1st of many to come. Oh how well they played, 4-0, 3-1, 2-0, 5-3, and 5-0 in the final. So proud of this amazing team. https://www.mermaidsdivecenter.com
