Vessels used to conduct this dive may range from small inflatables to large, live-aboard charter boats. Here with Adventure Divers, Pattaya, we will be diving off of the MV Saifon, a fairly large day scuba diving boat.

We will orient student divers to the boat and discuss proper boat diving etiquette, common boat terminology, specific boat diving entries and exits, local boat diving laws and overview of the vessel’s safety and emergency equipment. We will discuss potential problems with seasickness.

If conditions allow for and the student shows an interest in assisting with vessel operations, we may have student divers assist with basic boating duties, securing lines or the anchor, using the radio, docking assistance,rigging the diver down flag for display, etc.
