Sports, Recreation & Leisure
Pattaya
has a wealth of sports and activities to keep
adventure seekers happy. Most notably, scuba diving
is big business in these parts, with numerous
shop offering a full range of courses as well
as fun dives for those with experience.
For
those who want to stay above the blue stuff, there
are also a few water skiing operators and sailing
clubs.
Away
from the water, Pattaya has some stunning public
golf courses and a couple of championship courses.
Club hire is available but if you have your own
equipment you'll probably be able to knock a couple
off your handicap!
Scuba
Diving
Pattaya's dive sites are around the "Far Islands",
a small ring of islands just over 20km from the
mainland. Highlights include soft and hard corals,
a large variety of marine fish and even a couple
of wreck dives!
The
"Petchburi Bremen", an old freighter
21m down and the "Hardeep" is a 60m
cargo ship sunk just after World War II. The Hardeep
is completely intact and you can swim through
from end-to-end completely inside the ship!
