Koh Tao Technical Diving Thailand

KOH TAO THAILAND DIVING- Our technical diving courses work on mastering the basics first such as trim, buoyancy and team dynamics. Our technical diving courses teach you to plan and make decompression dives using the standard DIR hogarthian tech rig and using Nitrox and oxygen as a decompression gas for accelerated and non accelerated deco. Out tech training is second to none here on Koh Tao situated in the Gulf of Thailand. KOH TAO THAILAND DIVING offers all DSAT, TDI, GUE and BSAC technical and overhead diving courses.

Technical Diving Courses

DSAT COURSES

The PADI Tec Deep program is built upon three new courses: Tec 40, Tec 45, and Tec 50. This new course breakdown allows the technical decompression diving program to be more diver friendly, letting the student built their experience gradually. Each level of certification in the Tec Deep program allows the successful candidate to gain experience and still enjoy the benefits of technical decompression diving.

DSAT TEC 40

· 4 days

· 4 Training Dives

· 3 Theory Sessions

· 3 Practical Sessions

· Requirements: Advanced Open Water, Nitrox Diver, Deep Diver and 30 Dives

Learn to use Nitrox (enriched air) up to 50% for decompression dives. Here we lay down the fundamentals of tech diving using the standard DIR hogarthian tech rig working on propulsion techniques, trim, bouynacy and team diving skills. Learn the basic of trim and buoyancy wearing twinset and 1 40 cf  deco tank. You will then learn out of air and shut down drills, calculate SAC rates, holding deco stops, lift bag deployment, fining techniques (including fining backwards) minimum deco and much more. We will look at utilizing deco software for decompression, gas calculations and dive planning. All our training can be carried out at our technical training facility on Sairee beach in Koh Tao, Thailand.

DSAT TEC 45

· 4 days

· 4 Training Dives

· 3 Theory Sessions

· 3 Practical Sessions

· Requirements: TEC 40 Diver and 50 Dives

Tec 45 is the second sub-course in the full PADI Tec Diver Course, Tec 45 course picks up where the Tec 40 course ends at the same time preparing you for Tec 50. During this course you will learn the skills and equipment and planning procedures needed to dive to a maximum of 45 meters/145 feet. You will also gain the knowledge to plan and execute single and repetitive decompression dives using a single stage cylinder of EANx or oxygen to accelerate the decompression stops. There would be no time limit to amount of decompression other then gas supply. This training program will teach you how to prepare and respond to foreseeable technical diving emergencies. Master the basic skills and procedures you'll need as you move deeper into tech diving.

DSAT TEC 50 

· 4 days

· 4 Training Dives

· 3 Theory Sessions

· 3 Practical Sessions

· Requirements: Tec 45 Diver

Learn to use Nitrox (enriched air) up to 50% for decompression dives. Here lay down the fundamentals of tech diving using the standard DIR hogarthian tech rig and team diving. Learn the basic of trim and buoyancy wearing three tanks. You will then learn out of air and shut down drills, calculate SAC rates, holding deco stops, lift bag deployment, finning techniques (including finning backwards) and much more. We will look at utilizing deco software for decompression, gas calculations and dive planning. Our gradAll our training can be carried out at our technical training facilty on Sairee beach in Koh Tao, Thailand.

DSAT Tec Deep 

· 8-10 days

· 12 Training Dives

· 6 Theory Sessions

· 8 Practical Sessions

· Requirements: Rescue Diver, Nitrox Diver, Deep Diver and 100 Dives

This course combines the performance requirements of Tec 40 Tec 45 and Tec 50 and gives you the combined benefits of all three levels. Taught in a fluid 8 day schedule, if you sign up for the full program we will provide you with the required 12 training dives and give you three additional tec dives free of charge. Remember this level not only opens up new dives sites but allows you to progress to other overhead environment and mixed gas programs.

Ready to explore the technical diving field, in this course you will complete 12 training dives including the use of twin manifold tanks, back-plate and harness and wing system with stage tanks, 8 practical applications, 6 knowledge development sessions and 2 exams.

After successful completion of the DSAT Tec Deep Diver course you'll be able to conduct gas-switch extended no-decompression dives, decompression dives and accelerated decompression dives using air and enriched air to a depth of 50 metres/165 feet. You'll also understand the hazards and risks involved in technical diving, as well as how to prepare for and handle reasonable foreseeable technical diving emergencies.

The Course Covers: (but is not limited to) Technical risks and responsibilities, technical equipment rigging, gas planning, team diving, technical pre-dive checks, specific tech diving hand signals, gas shut down drills, gas switching, long hose gas sharing, lift bag deployment, removal and replacement of deco cylinders, equipment and gas failure procedures, handling technical diver emergencies and rescue drills, oxygen management, decompression computer software, executing decompression stops and dives.
