What is it?

Technical diving can be described as diving beyond the limits of recreational diving. This generally means diving deeper than 40m, diving long enough to require decompression stops that can be performed using air, nitrox or pure oxygen. Technical diving is usually conducted with specialized equipment that differs from the equipment used in recreational diving. You will see technical divers carrying multiple cylinders, rebreathers and backups for everything. Extremely advanced training is essential to make this type of diving safe and enjoyable.

Why do it?

As an advanced diver you may want to continue your education beyond the recreational level. During your technical training you will expand your knowledge about the theory of diving: decompression theory, the human body, oxygen, technical dive equipment and advanced diving techniques.

Learn the safest way to explore the depths of world-class dive sites: Hin Muang, Hin Daeng and Koh Haa. During your training you will visit all these sites, spending much longer at depth than you have ever done before. After you’ve qualified, take what you’ve learned away and explore the depths in other oceans.
