One of the best thngs about tech diving in Pattaya is that it has the best weather of any Thai dive area. It’s not seasonal — so dive sites don’t close — and the waves and wind are much less severe than Koh Tao / Koh Samui.

It seems the wind is whipping things up down there again. Big Blue Tech reports:

The past few days the tech crew have been hiding from the wind by servicing our compressors so they’re in top form for the high season which starts in August.

Yesterday, the tech crew watched the dive boats get bounced around in the sea, furiously emptying beer bottles in case a make shift raft was needed. Despite our chants of “wreck, wreck, wreck” nothing exciting happened; i guess the boats here really can handle the waves.
