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 other gas mixes. Technical diving is usually conducted with specialized equipment that differs from the recreational diving equipment. Technical divers often carry more than one cylinder and backup tanks or use Rebreathers.
Extremely advanced training is essential to make this type of diving safe and enjoyable. Cave diving is quite obviously diving in Caves? But it is so much more than that, many caves are still being discovered and they offer a brand new world and an exciting challenge to experienced divers. Caves can vary from small, short caves/caverns to complex labyrinths with huge cathedral like structures within them.

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.
The Krabi region has world class caves and caverns both inland and via the sea (near Koh Phi Phi). Many of these caves we are just discovering and they are huge! For those interested in this type of diving we can offer an introduction to Cavern Diving at Koh Phi Phi, contact us for details.
