Scuba diving is great... did it on two holidays in my life, both on Maldive Islands.
Never tried it in Thailand... but I know that there are some diving schools in Pattaya.
Talking about diving schools:
In any case I recommend to make a course to learn how to handle the equipment.
Look for diving schools with the PADI sign and ask them for a course to become a so called "Open Water Diver", which is the basic certificate that allows you to rent Scuba equipment anywhere in the world.
But don´t worry... the course is great fun and worth the money.
At the end your instructor will give you a diver ID, a diver´s log book and a very nice wall certificate.
But for obvious reasons I recommend that you bring your own mask and snorkel with you from home.
Don´t buy them in a supermarket... I mean it !
Look for a Scuba shop at your place, ask the members of a diving, swimming or rescue swimming club at your local pool, or simply surf the web for basic but professional Scuba equipment.
The cheap stuff they sell in supermarkets every summer is crap, and in my opinion not even good enough as toys for children, because it is a dangerous imitation of the real equipment.
A good mask costs around 20 to 40 Euro here in Germany... a snorkel around 10 to 15 Euro... and in case you want some good flippers too, I recommend to ask for swimming flippers, not for the hard diver flippers, because you are a beginner.
But don´t worry... swimming flippers are good enough for sport diving... the harder ones are only for those divers who go deeper as 25 metres.
You´ll not go deeper as 20 metres on a PADI course anyway, because that´s the depth from where diving is not longer holiday fun, but work with lots of calculations for decompression stops and all this.
A good pair of swimming flippers costs around 50 Euro.
By the way, S.C.U.B.A is the abbreviation for "Self Contained Underwater Breath Aparatus" ( damn I´m so good in English... lol )
And leave the oxygen tanks for Yogi !
No diver uses pure oxygen, because it is toxic.
Take the compressed air tanks like the others do !
