Scuba Cat is an ideal scuba diving platform. The designed in stability of a very large catamaran boat operating amongst the protected waters of the Similans makes this the most "friendly" boat to be found-seasickness is rare. From 10,500 Baht

Course Directors at Scubacat

Christopher Pace, Resident Course Director, CD-925601

I started diving in Europe over 20 years ago since then, diving has become my favourite activity. Before working in the dive industry, I used to work as an International Observer for the United Nations in countries such as Mozambique, Cambodia and South Africa. My main task was to implement civil education program, to teach local people how to organize elections and implement Human Right's.

Becoming an Instructor was the best combination of "Teaching and Diving". My career as an Instructor took me to wonderful places: Mexico, Belize, Honduras, Cayman Islands, Egypt, The Philippines, Sipadan, Indonesia, Vietnam and for the last 9 years in Thailand. The contacts I have made in all these years are very useful for my PADI IDC candidates when they are looking for a job.

Since 2000, I have concentrated on Instructor levels, in 2001 and 2002 I received PADI's prestigious: Outstanding Contribution for Instructor Development Award and in 2003 and 2008 A certificate of Recognition for Excellence.

Platinum Course Director Award was also received during 2008.

Now, I conduct IDC 's with the Scuba Cat Team and oversee Scuba Cat's innovative Career Development Program

Compared with most "dive centers" in Thailand (a lot of them is just a website - a "Virtual Dive Company") - Scuba Cat owns their own fleet of diving boats and have been in operation since 1994. If you do a Course or a Dive Career Package with us, all your dives will be from one of our own dive boats, not "we got to do a beach dive, 'cause it is not enough students" or from a "last minute rented long tail boat, 'cause all the other boats are full".
