Dive in Pattaya aboard Copperband 1, the boat owned and operated by Copperband Scuba Academy. Meet our team, enjoy a day at sea and explore the islands off Pattaya.
A real boat, run by the team you book with
Copperband 1 is our own dive boat. When you arrange a boat diving day with Copperband Scuba Academy, you are speaking directly with the team that operates her.
From your first scuba experience to a day of diving as a certified diver, we help you choose the right trip and confirm the arrangements before you travel.
Space to enjoy your day at sea
The boat has a shaded lower deck and an open upper deck. Between dives, settle into the rhythm of a day on the water, enjoy lunch and take in the island views.
Our standard dive days include dive equipment, instructor or guide support, breakfast, coffee, Thai lunch and towels. We confirm the details for your selected trip when arranging your booking.
Where we dive from Pattaya
Our usual departure point is Bali Hai Pier in Pattaya. Nearby island destinations include Koh Larn, Koh Sak and Koh Krok. The day’s sites depend on sea conditions, the trip plan and the divers aboard.
Far Island and wreck trips are arranged according to conditions and diver qualifications. If you have a particular site in mind, speak to us before booking so we can advise on the right day.
