Asia Blue Scuba - Gulf of Thailand
Asia Blue Scuba, a PADI 5 Star Dive Resort, makes its home in the Gulf of Thailand. They’ve got a good setup if you’re looking to get certified, especially if you’re aiming for your Open Water or Advanced. We’ve found their instructors to be pretty patient, which is a big plus for newer divers or those who haven’t been in the water for a while. They run trips to a decent range of the local sites, often hitting Sail Rock for those schooling barracuda or the Ang Thong Marine Park for a quieter, shallower dive. It’s a solid choice for straightforward dive training and exploring the Gulf.
