This "Learn in Asia" thing is a scam. "Lean in Asia" and "PJ Scuba" are not real dive shops. Both websites are run by this non-working instructor who doesn't teach classes anymore. He also hawks dive holidays in the Philippines, motorcycle parts, English-teaching and other unrelated crap on his site. Further, the internships -- taught by another dive shop -- are overrun. They have so many people that you don't even get a real instrucotr. Their website admits they use "mentors" aka other interns, as teachers instead of fully certified instructors. Plus, their old, tiny boat is so crowded that everytime they get to a dive site it's totally destroyed for the day. They ruin it for everyone. Finally, this thing isn't even IN pattaya. Its 20 minutes outside town. Don't beleive the hype. The website should be a good indication. Poorly designed and terrible spelling and syntax. The guy needs to learn the difference between ITS and IT'S before he starts trying to rip people off.
