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.

Tech Diving Thailand is a great place to learn Technical Diving. I went from Tec 40 to Tech Instructor.. They offer many other courses like cave diving, equipment repair, gas blending, sidemount, rebreather and many more. Instructor trainer David Polley is very experienced and has a lot of diving knowledge that he happily shares. If your on Koh Tao don't bother Tech diving anywhere else, do it all at Tech Diving Thailand.

I did my TDI Trimix course with David Polley on Koh Tao in 2012. Being a PADI instructor and a TDI Full Cave Diver before, I can really say that this course put me and my diving skills on a new level. Not only the knowledge about and usage of different breathing gases, but also all the other technical diving techniques that are part of this course. Since we went on a wreck diving expedition after the course, Dave conducted the course very thoughtfully, providing lots of tipps and tricks based on his year long experience and made sure that me and my equipment would be perfectly prepared for the expedition. Great job, Dave, thanks a lot!

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!

BSAC Sports Diver QualificationThank you Dave for completing my Sports Diver training qualification in record time! I had barely finished my Ocean diver course when Dave suggested that I pursue diving to the next level. In less than 2 months, we covered the entire diving theoretical content in 6 lectures, went for shore dives, sea dives, etc... And finally, passed the exam with no trouble at all!
Many thanks again!

Getting into Cave Diving

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

I did my Tec deep Instructor course, intro to cave and dive shop operation course with Dave at Tech Diving Thailand. Had an awesome time, very professional outfit and knowledgeable instructors who could answer my questions in detail and made everything easy to understand!! Would highly recommend!!!
