Great tec course with great instructors Dave and Tom. I also did the course with a friend I've been diving with for a few years and so felt very comfortable getting used to all the new skills and techniques with a very fun and motivated group! I eventually planned and completed my own dive, dived a brand new wreck and even got to spend a decompression stop with a Whale Shark! cannot wait to go onto my Tec 45!!!
I did Tech 40, 45, 50 cavern and intro cave with Dave Polley last year. Dave is a fantastic teacher, very professional and knowledgeable and trains with a relaxed and enthusiastic approach. It was a great experience pushing my diving into new areas, tech training also improved my recreational diving (trim, air consumption and planning) The cave and cavern trip too Khal Sok and Song Hong lakes was a definite highlight of my time in Thailand. Will be returning tooTech Diving Thailand and Dave for Sidemount in the near future.
I Just finished my TDI Cavern, Intro to Cave and Advanced Trimix with Tech Diving Thailand and the courses were great fun as well as challenging. We went to mainland Thailand and started with really shallow dives in a place called Spitting Spider Cave. Thankfully, the spider was off duty when we were there! From there we gradually moved beyond cavern dives and on to greater depths. As the dives got a little more complicated, my cave diving skills improved step by step and it all started feeling quite comfortable. Dave is a great instructor - he won't let you cut corners, but at the same time you're ready for the challenges coming your way. Everything was organised professionally, the hire equipment was good, too -can't wait to go back and complete my Full Cave course!
Did my tech 40 & tech 45 with Tech Diving Thailand Tech and I was very happy with the experience. Doing tech is an interesting experience. Even though I'm an open water scuba instructor, everything is so totally different with tech that I felt like I was doing my open water course again. Schmike (Mike W.) was fantastic as an instructor. He was super knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable all the way.
I did my Open Water with Dave when I was 54. I’m not a brilliant swimmer and I didn’t like having my face in the water let alone underwater so it was very challenging for me. However Dave proved to be a brilliant teacher and taught me the skills I needed. I’m his Mum so of course you’d expect me to be biased but actually I had no idea of his teaching ability. I also thought he might be a bit impatient with me but not at all. He was so professional. Being underwater was a fabulous experience.
I have done several technical diving courses with Tech Diving Thailand and I have to say the level of expertise of their instructors is unmatched in any other Tech School I have been with. I completed PADI RecTech to Tech 50 and TDI extended range, cavern, intro and full cave diver. I particularly enjoyed the cave courses, conducted at Khao Sok national park and Song Hong, a crystal clear sinkhole, with near limitless depth potential! If you are learning to tech dive do not trust your life to any other school Tech Diving Thailand are the best.
I did everything up to trimix rebreather and Full Cave with Tech Diving Thailand. The environment is extremely professional and Dave is an excellent instructor. Courses are paired with expeditions to makes sure that it is not only a certification you are receiving when you do a course, but also the experience. I have looked at other tec schools and thailand and was disappointed with how short the courses take. At Tech Diving Thailand tec, once you have completed the course, you are welcome to continue diving with them to build up experience, which is much more valuable than a certification card. I am sure to come back to Tech Diving Thailand tech to one day to my tec instructor.
I did my TDI Sidemount, PADI tec40, TDI Advanced Trimix to Full cave diver with Dave. they were great fun. We went on a great cave trip up to Khao sok national park - which was beautiful we stayed on floating huts and had interesting food most nights. We also went to Song Hong sink hole which was incredible. The cave was huge and dark it was like diving through space. Learning technical diving is very demanding, but hugely rewarding experience
Cave Diving with Tech Diving Thailand was awesome! I took the TDI Cavern and Intro to Cave courses in Khao Sok National Park. The food was great - a variety of Thai cuisine - the accommodation was simple and beautiful - floating bungalows - and the people were professional, safety oriented, standard conforming and super fun. Highly recommended!
So I recently did my PADI Tec 40 & Tec 45 with Dave from Tech Diving Thailand, I have to be honest I was a little apprehensive going simply because I really didn't know what to expect. However, when I met Dave for the first I realised that it was going to be a good course. Daves knowledge is extensive but what struck me most was his passion & enthusiasm for this particular area of diving, throughout the theory sessions we would often digress into the background behind the theory and to watching videos of his many exploits diving on historical wrecks. The practical part of the course was not easy but this was a plus point, there was no coasting along through the skills, Dave made the emergency drills as realistic as possible but also ensured that my understanding of the skills was up to scratch. There was no real section of the course that I preferred as I found it all challenging and therefore enjoyable.
