Are you a Nitrox diver?

MV Scuba Cat has an Enriched Air Nitrox blending system onboard. Enriched Air Nitrox enables you to increase the amount of time you spend you spend at depth underwater. If you are not yet certified as an Enriched Air Nitrox Diver, our Instructors are happy to train you.

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".
