• Answer:

  Personally I would recommend Mermaid's Dive CDC, as it is the first 5 Star Career Development Centre to gain this rating in Thailand. They certify people up to and including Course Director (the highest level in PADI) and have been awarded over and over again for their amazing adherence to standards and ability to offer courses to divers. They have also expanded and now have about 4 locations throughout Pattaya. They're very well equipped and will cover all your needs. I can't give you a definitive price but you can check out www.mermaiddive.com or www.learn-in-asia.com. I also give you this place as a recommendation as I did a 5 month internship with them in 2008 and thus have seen it over time and know the quality of service and training they provide. I've been employed as a scuba instructor consistently for 2.5 years and I owe it all to them, so I will vouch greatly for this dive operation.
