The boat slips away from Pattaya’s shore with a soft thrum; spray lifts off the bow and the city’s skyline shrinks to a low horizon. Instructors move through the group with calm efficiency—checking masks, fitting regulators, demonstrating hand signals—while the Gulf’s warm air presses against your skin. By the time the boat anchors off a shallow island, the water ahead looks like a green-blue threshold daring you to go under.
